Istra 1961 is changing its club strategy and cutting its budget, which is currently around four million euros. The goal is for 60 to 70 percent of the team to consist of players from Istra's academy or from Alaves B, and the rest to be proven players. Josip Radošević is leaving the club because he does not fit into the club's strategy, while Stjepan Lončar and Smail Prevljak are staying. The arrivals of Ivan Šaranić and Bojan Ilievski have been confirmed. Offers exist for Filip Taraba, Antonijo Maurić, Emil Frederiksen, goalkeeper Franko Kolić, and Vinko Rozić. Regarding Advan Kadušić, the club has stated that if he wants to leave, they will not create problems and could let him go as a free agent. If Kolić leaves the club, Istra will bring in two more goalkeepers. One of the options being considered is Lovro Majkić, the former captain of Istra, who lost his status as first goalkeeper in Greek Aris. Istra 1961 will try to strengthen its squad in order to achieve better results in the HNL. The club will focus on developing young players from its academy. In the coming period, it will be seen which players will be part of Istra 1961's new lineup. Istra 1961 will have to adapt to the new circumstances and find a way to compete with other clubs in the league. The club's success depends on how the players will adapt to the new strategy and how the club will cope with the new circumstances. Istra 1961 is facing a challenging period, but with the right approach, they can achieve their goals. The club's management is working hard to ensure that Istra 1961 will be competitive in the upcoming season.
