Former Milan ST chooses ‘1,400 won a year’ to help hometown team win title

Nikola Kalinic made a tough choice to help his hometown team win a title.

“Former AC Milan striker Nikola Kalinic has agreed to take the minimum salary after returning to his boyhood club,” Sports Bible reported on Thursday.

Kalinic is a pacy frontline striker despite his 6-foot-5 frame, and he made his senior debut for Hajduk Split after spending his youth career with the club. Between the 2007/08 and 2008/09 seasons, he scored 31 goals and 12 assists in 61 games, making him a promising prospect in Croatia.

At the same time, European big league teams were interested in him. The most active was the English club Blackburn. Kalinic headed to Blackburn for a transfer fee of £6 million.

He didn’t do too badly in his first year with the club. In 2009/10, he scored seven goals and provided three assists in 33 games, reaching double-digit offensive points in his first season in the big leagues. The following year, injuries slowed him down. He had six goals and two assists in 20 games.

Kalinich chose a new challenge. He joined Dnipro in Ukraine for the 2011/12 season. The move was a success. In his first season, he scored 10 goals and provided one assist in 21 games.

The highlight was the 2014/15 season. Kalinich led the team’s offense with 19 goals and two assists in 48 games. Notably, he led the team to the UEFA Europa League final. He scored the first goal in the final against Sevilla, but unfortunately the team lost 2-3.

His performances caught the eye of Fiorentina, who made a move to sign him. In two seasons, he scored 33 goals and provided 10 assists in 83 games. Kalinic then moved on to the ‘traditional Italian powerhouse’ AC Milan.

Unusually, the salary is quite low. “It’s the easiest contract we’ve had in three years with Haiduk,” said a club 카지노 official. “We agreed on a salary of 1 euro ($1,400) a year. Kalinic wanted to help Heyduk win the championship, which is the only reason he came back.”

“Hajduk’s last league title came in the 2004/05 season, a year before Kalinic’s debut,” the outlet continued. Kalinic will wear the number 9, which was presented to him by the former owner.” Hajduk is currently the league leader.
