Mauro Perković, born on 22 March 2003 in Croatia, is currently clocking in at age 21. Sporting the position of a defender and primarily a central defender for Dinamo Zagreb, Perković doesn't fall short in stature, standing at 6 feet (approximately 1.85 metres). His athletic prowess is supported by his weight of 11 stone 6 pounds (equivalent to 73 kilograms). Not limited to club football, he has also had his turn representing the Croatia U21 national team.
As has been suggested by Transfermarkt, currently, his market value is around the £4.5m mark. His contractual agreement with Dinamo Zagreb extends for a period of nearly three years and three months more, with the expiration date set to fall on the 18th of January, 2028.
In August 2012, still but a trainee, Perković joined Istra 1961 in the HNL in his native Croatia. He accrued his role swiftly – during his debut season of 2022-2023 at Istra 1961, he made a solid 17 appearances in league matches for their first team.
By February of the following year, 2023, an opportunity to transfer from Istra 1961 to Dinamo Zagreb had beckoned him and duly, he was once more playing in his native HNL league. That season, he put up a show with eight first team appearances in league games, and followed up strongly in the 2023-2024 season with 21 appearances, adding two goals to his credit. However, as of the current season 2024-2025 with Dinamo Zagreb, his on-field presence has been conspicuously absent.
Revisiting the timeline of events, Perković's transfer to Dinamo Zagreb in July 2023 is worthy of mention. The steep fee of around £1.8 million changed hands to secure his movement from Istra 1961. Ever since, throughout the 2023-2024 season, he marked his presence on the field with 21 first team appearances and two goals to his name. Nevertheless, the ongoing season of 2024 - 2025 has seen a lull in Perković's participation.
His accomplishments aside, he has also participated in international matches. His track record in the Conference League of 2023 - 2024 for his club Dinamo Zagreb shows six starts and a substitute appearance. On the international front with the Croatia U21, he displayed a promising performance in the UEFA U21 Championship Qualifiers for the 2024 - 2025 stint, with five starts to his name.
