Hajduk Split defender Branimir Mlacic remains firmly in the spotlight as transfer speculation continues to swirl around Inter Milan’s interest.
The 2007-born talent started at centre-back for Hajduk Split in a high-profile Croatian league clash against Istra.
His inclusion came after two consecutive absences from the starting line-up in friendlies against Croatia Zmijavci and Široki Brijeg, briefly shifting focus back onto the pitch rather than the market.
According to Sportske Novosti, via FCInterNews, the decision by head coach Gonzalo Garcia to restore Mlacic to the XI does not signal an end to talks with Inter Milan.

On the contrary, the report suggests the defender’s situation remains unresolved.
Indeed, with sporting choices kept separate from ongoing transfer discussions.
Mlacic’s return to the starting role is therefore seen as a practical decision rather than a statement on his future.
Hajduk continue to evaluate their options, aware of growing interest from abroad and the player’s rising profile.
A definitive call on Mlacic’s next step is expected at the club’s upcoming internal meeting.
Inter, along with other interested sides, remain attentive observers as the situation develops.
Indeed, ready to act once Hajduk clarify their position.
