Sampdoria Secures Dennis Hadzikadunic on Loan Thanks to Special FIFA Regulation
Sampdoria has successfully brought in defender Dennis Hadzikadunic on loan from FC Rostov, a move made possible through a special FIFA regulation. This rule allows players and coaches affiliated with Russian or Ukrainian clubs to temporarily suspend their contracts and seek opportunities elsewhere, a provision that Hadzikadunic has used before in his stints with clubs like Hamburger SV, Malmö, and Mallorca.
The Bosnia-Swedish defender joins Sampdoria to cover for key defenders Romagnoli and Altare, both sidelined due to injuries. Hadzikadunic himself recently recovered from a partial ligament tear in his ankle and knee as well as an earlier capsule injury, passing medical tests in Genoa and ready to contribute immediately to the squad.
Despite the legal complexity surrounding the transfer, Sampdoria is considered to be on firm ground due to the specific FIFA guidelines that support such moves under current circumstances. This ensures that the club’s acquisition of Hadzikadunic does not pose any future regulatory issues.
With his arrival, Sampdoria aims to bolster their defensive line amid injury troubles, adding an experienced and versatile player capable of stabilizing the backline. While the club must carefully navigate the legal nuances of the deal, Hadzikadunic’s experience and recent fitness make him a valuable asset during this challenging period.
