Gabriel Vidović has completed a permanent move from Bayern Munich to Dinamo Zagreb.
The Croatian club have reportedly paid €1 million to sign the 21-year-old, who had one year remaining on his contract with Bayern.
“Gabriel Vidović learned his trade at our FC Bayern Campus and then continued to develop through our loan concept, accepting every challenge,” said Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund.
“Now is the right time for the next step in his career. We would like to thank him for his commitment and wish him continued success both on a sporting and personal level.”
Vidović made eight senior appearances for Bayern’s senior side and spent time on loan at Vitesse, Dinamo Zagreb, and most recently Mainz.

That’s why Flick has requested a player who can compete for a spot and provide imbalance from day one.
