    Hi all,

    sorry if this is the incorrect place to post this but it's my first time on the forums :)

    NK Osijek had multiple transfers at the end of 22/23 season but the starting transfer funds are only 800k € with a measly wage fund.

    Players sold before the start of the new season were: 
    Adrian Leon Barisic  -  FC Basel €3.00m     
    Mirlind Daku  Rubin Kazan €1.20m     
    Mihael Zaper Hajduk Split €1.00m     
    Yevgen Cheberko  Columbus Crew €1.00m

    And even with the season before that you had notable transfers like Dion Drena Beljo going to Augsburg for €3m (up to €6.5m) and Ivica Ivušić to Pafos for €2m. None of these incoming amounts are reflected in the club finances. 

    According to the clubs financial report itself the loss in 2022 was around 8.1m HRK which translates to about 1.06m EUR in loss. But thats before the sales of all the mentioned players.

    There was also the 600k € UEFA penalty that was paid without issues.

    Additionally, with the move to the new stadium we had a influx of popularity and sponsorships which also need to be taken into account.

    All the incoming players were acquired free with the amount for Renan Guedes unknown but estimated to be at or under 100k.

    Even recently with the switch of managers the club paid out 100k to Partizani for Zoran Zekić so they do have the finances.

    Is there any chance of this being corrected and increased or am I looking at this from the wrong angle?  I know the full amounts are not what the club actually gets but the 800k seems way under what the finances should be. 

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hello. Welcome :)

    So we start with the money that is from the official financial report, this time for 2022. Money recieved from transfers was largly added to their cash reserves so you could ask the board to give you more money for transfers. Transfer budget pre window is set to €1.5m and afterwards it's 800k because Osijek spent literally €0 on transfers this summer and doesn't even look like wanting to spend more. It would be irrational to put the user in a position of spending €4m on transfers since that's never what Osijek does. During Bjelica's reign that backfired badly.

    Transfer budget is different thing than the money that the club has overall. :)

    Since they're not that skint but very very tight and because the money from transfers was added to their reserves, you could ask the board in game to give you more, which to me seems close to reality.

    Unfortunately we're always kinda late with finances so you should see the money from the stadium next season in game. Have in mind that you start in summer 2023 and we aim for that to be a fair representation before the first transfer period ends. Osijek has huge costs and don't earn nowhere near Dinamo and Hajduk, so they cover that with private money masked into sponsorship deals. It makes things really hard on us to evaluate hehe. We'll see the financial situation next season in real life now with the new stadium and more healthy money. Hopefully that gives us a clearer picture for the future.
