Maro Katinić on the reasons for moving to Ljubljana: he was also interested in clubs from Italy, but in the end he chose Bravo
It was in 2020 when his name first appeared in the Croatian media. It makes perfect sense: at the time, Maro Katinic was at the centre of a rumour that three clubs from Italy had entered the race for him. The young defender, then 16 years old, was targeted by Atalanta, Napoli and even Juventus, but no transfer followed. There was continued interest abroad, but he did not leave Dinamo. Until this year, when, somewhat surprisingly, he moved to Slovenia.
Maro Katinic, who is considered one of the more talented young defenders in Croatia, will play in the spring in

in which he will defend the colours of

. “It is difficult for a young player to break into the Dinamo squad. The competition is fierce, but the focus is always on the result. That is why it is great for us to be able to germinate, and why not, in Slovenia too. It’s true, there were a few other clubs, also in Italy, interested in me, but Bravo was the most persistent, the most concrete. I realise how much I am worth. And that I’m not yet good enough for big performances in the bigger leagues. There will be time for that. I think Ljubljana is the ideal place for my development,“, Maro Katinić told Navijaško zona about his reasons for coming to Ljubljana.
The 18-year-old defender didn’t know much about Bravo before the transfer: ‘I’ll be honest, I didn’t know Bravo. Simply because it is a young club. By the way, I only found out where I was moving to two days before my first training session with the Yellows. But it is true that I was aware that Šaranić and Milić were playing here. Perhaps that was the decisive factor in my arrival at Bravo.”
