Former Atalanta and Hellas Verona defender switches Dinamo Zagreb for Standard Liege | OneFootball

Standard Liege have announced that 24-year-old Croatian central defender Bosko Sutalo has signed a deal with the club until 2029. Sutalo joins after his contract with Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb expired at the end of the 2023/2024 season. He will fill an void left by a number of departures in central defence for Standard already this summer as the club look to rebuild on a limited budget.

Sutalo once cost Atalanta €4m back in the winter window of 2019/2020, moving from Croatian side NK Osijek. During his time in Serie A he spent the 2021/2022 season on loan at Hellas Verona. Sutalo only made 16 appearances for Atalanta and a further 25 on loan at Hellas Verona before being sold back to Croatia. Dinamo Zagreb spent around €4m to bring him back to the country, where he went on to make 27 appearances and score on goal over the past two seasons.

Standard fans will be hopeful he can realise his potential with the club and help sure up the defence for the 2024/2025 season.
