The thunder from Maksimir Stadium has been heard loud and clear! Mislav Orsic is coming home. The legend is donning the blue jersey of GNK Dinamo Zagreb once again. The deal is practically sealed, and the excitement is palpable across Zagreb.

A Familiar Face, Fresh Fire

Formalities will be handled next week. The contract is for one year, with an option to extend for another if the club is satisfied. This approach mirrors the philosophy of Zvonimir Boban, who applies similar terms to players over 32, much like Real Madrid does with its veterans. After a season in Cyprus with Pafos FC, Orsic remains as lethal as ever.

By The Numbers

His time in Cyprus was no holiday. In 67 matches, he scored eight goals and provided 17 assists, even clinching the national championship in 2025. Last season alone, he featured in 48 games, including eight in the Champions League, logging over 3,200 minutes on the pitch. His contract with Pafos expired, and despite other offers, Orsic told agent Branko Hucica immediately: this is it. He’s coming home.

At Dinamo, his legacy is immense. He has played 216 matches, scored 91 goals, and delivered 41 assists. This return cements the left wing as his domain, potentially signaling that Arber Hoxha’s time at the club is nearing its end. The stage is set for a new chapter.
