After a completed medical and final agreement on terms, Branimir Mlacic has been unveiled as a new Udinese signing. The defender leaves Hajduk Split to embark on a new chapter - with fans of his new club keen to see what he can do. Udinese identified him as a top target early in the window and are said to be delighted to finally get their man. With Inter, Dortmund and Barcelona having dropped out of the race to sign him, the final steps went through without issue. The club handled the final stage quickly and will now look to integrate him into the matchday squad as soon as possible. This season (25/26) Udinese have shipped 34 goals in 22 matches - 1.55 a game, which is well above the Serie A average. Branimir Mlacic would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Reports suggest Udinese are monitoring Yannick Eduardo and Goncalo Esteves whereas Hajduk Split have not been associated with other players at this stage.
