Croatian football is currently a never-ending factory of producing midfielders who stand out for their extraordinary technical quality. To the Modric, Kovacic, Brozovic or Rakitic in the last decade we must add Lovro Majer, 23-year-old Rennes midfielder which was unveiled in France last Sunday with an exhibition before nothing more and nothing less than Olympique de Lyon, being the most outstanding player in the defeat of Genésio’s team against Bosz’s team by 4-0.
Majer, admirer of Modric (in fact, there is a photo in which Majer goes out on the pitch with Modric ten years ago before a Croatian match), He signed for Rennes in the summer in exchange for € 12 million after having shone at Dinamo Zagreb And, although it was difficult for him to start in France, the midfielder has become a key part of the Breton team, who aspire to finish Ligue 1 in the top three finishers.
Left-handed, elegant and with his head always raised, Majer is the latest Croatian product that aspires to be Modric’s short-term relief in the national team. He has already been called up with the absolute of Croatia and has also debuted, so his jump to Ligue 1 can definitely consolidate him in the plans of Zlatko Dalić. Majer is, without a doubt, one of the greatest Balkan talents of the last five years, Rennes having anticipated major European clubs that bid for the Lokomotiv Zagreb youth squad last summer.
