Hajduk Split will conclude their season against Vukovar on 18:15. This match marks the final game of the 36th round in the SuperSport HNL. Hajduk, second in the league with 65 points, is a significant favorite against Vukovar, who is last with 28 points.
Contract Expirations
Five Hajduk players' contracts expire at the end of the season, and their futures remain uncertain. Here's a look at each player:
Ante Rebić, 32
Ante Rebić joined Hajduk as a free agent in the summer of 2025. The former Croatian national team player and veteran of Eintracht, Fiorentina, and Milan has contributed 30 appearances, seven goals, and five assists this season, often starting for coach Gonzalo García. Rebić is expected to stay with Hajduk for the next season, following discussions with club leadership.
Dario Melnjak, 13
Dario Melnjak, a fan favorite since joining in 2021, has been a crucial player for Hajduk over the years. However, his role has diminished this season, with 26 appearances, one goal, and two assists. Like Rebić, Melnjak is expected to sign a new two-year contract with Hajduk.
Iker Almena, 21
Iker Almena joined Hajduk on loan from Al-Qadsiah last summer and has made a notable impact with three goals and two assists in 22 appearances. Despite a significant portion of the season missed due to injury, Almena is eager to stay at Poljud. However, his future depends on whether Al-Qadsiah, which paid €5 million for him in 2024 and has him contracted until 2028, will release him.
Ismael Diallo, 29
Ismael Diallo, who joined Hajduk in 2023, has played a significant role in the defense of the previous seasons. This year, however, he has only made two appearances, making his future with the club uncertain.
Anthony Kalik, 28
Anthony Kalik, who arrived from Gorenje four years ago, has had a varied role, from starter to substitute. This season, he has made 23 appearances, scoring two goals, but his future with Hajduk remains uncertain.
not really surprised to see some of these players leaving, tbh. Hajduk's been through a lot this season. still, it's a bit sad to say goodbye to some of these veterans.
