Josip Radošević Scout File: What Does a Napoli-Schooled Holding Midfielder Bring to Pula?
Quick scout answer: Radošević anchors one of the league’s youngest squads (average age 22.6): a 32-year-old holding midfielder who left Hajduk’s academy for Napoli in 2014, played for Salzburg, then captained Hajduk on his return. In Pula the job is two-layered: screen the back line and set the tempo; off the pitch, be the professionalism template for the Kumar-Sepić-Taraba generation. Istra’s biggest 2025/26 results — 2-1 over Dinamo (9 Nov 2025), 2-0 at Rijeka (15 Mar 2026) — were built on disciplined screening and quick transitions, the natural habitat of this profile. Watch: physical durability at 32, the split with Maurić, and mentor-role signals as the 2027 contract winds down.
Representative projection from limited viewing.
Verdict
Clear squad function — not a transfer target but the stability piece; the young assets appreciate on the order he provides. Where data is insufficient, no score is issued.
