Antonio Maurić Scout File: How Istra’s Midfield Succession Plan Works
Quick scout answer: Maurić is Istra’s midfield succession plan: a 22-year-old Croatian carrying the same €800k price tag as the 32-year-old Radošević — ten years younger. The club’s design is legible: the senior holder sets the order while the young holder of the same position cooks beside him. Limited public sample — a monitoring file. Watch: the minute scale with Radošević, pass completion under pressure once data matures, the Croatia U21 circle. In Istra’s 2025/26 transition template (2-1 over Dinamo, 9 Nov 2025; 2-0 at Rijeka, 15 Mar 2026) the midfielder who wins the ball and plays the first forward pass was the invisible engine — Maurić projects into exactly that role.
Representative projection from limited viewing.
Verdict
Active monitoring — the contract expires in 2027; if the club can’t extend, winter 2026/27 could be a cheap-buy window. Where data is insufficient, no score is issued.
