Hajduk officially announced on September 3, 2026, that Belgian midfielder Leander Dendoncker has signed a contract until the summer of 2028. [^1]

Hajduk is seriously pursuing Carlos Martin, a 24-year-old striker for Atletico Madrid, after his planned loan move to Almeria failed due to late documentation. [^2]

Almeria and Atletico Madrid agreed to a loan deal for Carlos Martin, but the transfer was not registered in the La Liga system before the transfer window closed due to missing documentation. [^3]

Hajduk still has time to complete the transfer because the Croatian transfer window remains open until September 7. [^4]

Hajduk is interested in Martin partly because Roko Brajković suffered a serious injury, creating a need for a striker who can cover multiple attacking positions. [^5]
