Nikola Moro, a Croatian footballer born on 12 March 1998, currently serves as a central defensive midfielder for Bologna. Although neither short nor exceptionally tall at 6ft (1.83m), Moro manages to hold his ground quite commendably in the midfield, further aided by his solid weight of 12st 3lb (78kg). The midfielder, aged 27 and wearing the number 6 jersey, has also pursued international success with the Croatia National Team.
Moro's journey has been an evolving one, transpiring from the Croatian capital to Moscow, and finally settling in Bologna. Having commenced his career at Dinamo Zagreb, a premier Croatian outfit, Moro first caught attention during the 2016-2017 season wherein he made 15 first team appearances, along with registering his maiden professional goal. Following an uneventful next season with no appearances, he moved to Dynamo Moscow in 2020.
His tenure in Dynamo Moscow, which stretched across roughly three seasons, saw a series of ups and downs. However, he managed to net three goals in his debut 2020-2021 season, thus ensuring a satisfactory start. Subsequent seasons saw him consistently earning first team appearances, prior to his transfer to Bologna in Italy in 2022.
His performance at Bologna has been consistent since his arrival. He has regularly made first team appearances across all seasons. In terms of goalscoring, Moro successfully found the back of the net in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons. Interestingly, according to Transfermarkt, the versatile midfielder currently boasts a market value of around £3.8m (rounded value of €4.50m).
Furthermore, Moro has also represented Croatia in the international circuit. He made appearances as a substitute in both the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 and Nations League 2024 - 2025. It remains to be seen how the tides of his career may turn in the 2025-2026 season at Bologna.
