Monsef Bakrar on Dinamo's transfer list – €3 million sale is real

GNK Dinamo Zagreb is considering the possible release of Monsef Bakrar for a fee of three million euros. Since the start of last season, the player has featured in 42 matches, scoring 18 goals and providing seven assists, making him one of the most productive forwards in the squad. If the deal goes through, the Blues will need to reinforce the attack and strengthen the wing.

What is driving Bakrar's departure?

Bakrar, a 23‑year‑old Algerian, has attracted interest from Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly, which wants him on more favorable terms than Zagreb can offer. In an interview with Germanijak, Bakrar noted he would earn more in Cairo and is contemplating a new challenge. Dinamo, ready to let him go for three million euros, sees an opportunity to reinvest in additional attacking options.

How would the sale affect the lineup?

Should Bakrar leave, Dinamo will have to react and add a striker, even though they have already secured Junior Brumado for the winter window. Coach Igor Jovićević will likely seek another forward and a winger to maintain offensive firepower. Given Dinamo currently tops the HNL with 86 points, 27 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, the club wants to stay dominant.

Where does Dinamo stand in the league?

At present, GNK Dinamo Zagreb leads the HNL with 86 points, 27 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats from 36 games, and the last five fixtures have all been wins (DWWWW). The team has scored 93 goals and conceded 28, a +65 goal difference, and sits 18 points ahead of HNK Hajduk Split. This impressive record gives Dinamo room for strategic market moves.

What to expect in the coming weeks?

If the transfer materialises, Dinamo will start hunting for a new striker and a winger early in the summer window. The club will likely evaluate domestic talents and foreign options that can help preserve the league lead. Fans will watch announcements and speculation closely, as the summer transfer market promises exciting possibilities for the Blues.
