GNK Dinamo Zagreb was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League qualification by Viking. Dinamo Zagreb failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, but managed to qualify for the UEFA Europa League. According to Football Meets Data, Dinamo Zagreb secured at least around 14.6 million euros by qualifying for the Europa League. However, their budget for this season was planned at around 70 million euros, and the loss to Viking will cause them financial difficulties.

How will Dinamo Zagreb solve financial difficulties? Dinamo Zagreb must sell key players to compensate for the lost money. According to sources, Sergi Dominguez is the most logical candidate for sale. Lazio has already shown interest in him, but Dinamo Zagreb rejected their offer because they wanted a higher amount.

What will happen to Sergi Dominguez? Sergi Dominguez has a market, and his sale could close a large part of the financial hole created by Viking. Dinamo Zagreb believes they have Niko Galešić as the ideal player to replace Sergi Dominguez. However, the sale of Dion Drena Beljo or Luka Stojković would be a bigger sporting problem.

Current situation in the league Dinamo Zagreb is currently in first place in the HNL league, with 9 points and 3 wins in 3 games, and a positive goal difference of +8. Their next game is against HNK Gorica, scheduled for September 5, 2026.
