20-year-old Luka Lukanić is leaving Dinamo Zagreb after 13 years, having made one senior appearance for the team. He debuted last summer under Igor Bišćan, playing 11 minutes against Astana in Champions League qualifiers.

Lukanić struggled to break through at Dinamo and sought playing time at Zrinjski Mostar. However, the influx of experienced midfielders like Bradarić, Kožulj, Balić, and Čanadžija limited his opportunities, compounded by U21 rules that favored players with Bosnian citizenship, such as Ramić and Prskalo. Despite these challenges, he impressed at Zrinjski with 10 appearances, two goals, and two assists.

Belgian scouts recognized Lukanić's potential as a defensive midfielder, leading to his upcoming transfer to Genk. While initially slated for Genk's reserve team, he may compete for a first-team spot during preseason. Genk, valued at €120 million on Transfermarkt, competes in European competitions.

The details of any transfer fee paid for Lukanić are undisclosed; he was under contract with Dinamo Zagreb until summer 2025.
