Toma Basic reveals his truths. The Lazio midfielder was one step away from a loan move to Hajduk Split in the summer. An operation that seemed to be in the final stages of definition but in the end did not materialize with the player remaining in the capital outside the squad. An opportunity that slipped by the skin of his teeth to get some minutes in his legs given that he is no longer in the plans of the club or Marco Baroni and now he will have to wait for the winter transfer window to be able to change sides.
The loan to Salernitana and the return to base
Last season the player went on loan to Salernitana but his performances were below expectations. In the ranks of the granata from Campania, Basic collected 15 appearances for a total of 1166 minutes. From there his return to Biancoceleste and the possibility of returning to Croatia then faded.
Basic’s words
And interviewed by the portal 24satathe player wanted to clarify: “Hajduk did their best in the negotiations, only president Lotito had to decide, but he didn’t accept and didn’t let me leave. This is the only reason why I didn’t return to Croatia. I was ready to give up part of my salary. The president simply decided that way and nothing could have been changed. Obviously I’m sorry and I would like to play for Hajduk again, but this time it wasn’t possible”.
