Gorica finalizes Iker Pozo’s €1.9M move to Rodina Moscow – biggest transfer in club history. According to Italian journalist Lorenzo Lepore, the deal between the clubs is nearly complete, with official confirmation expected once final details are settled. Pozo will sign a three-year contract and join a team that secured historic promotion to the Russian Premier League last season.

What’s the transfer value?

The total deal, including bonuses, amounts to €1.9 million, making it one of Gorica’s most lucrative transfers ever. Only the departures of Iyayi Atiemwen, Kristijan Lovrić, and Dominik Kotarski surpass it in value. Partizan was close to matching this figure, but Gorica secured a better outcome.

Why was Pozo so sought-after?

This summer, Iker Pozo was one of the most coveted players on the market. Partizan showed serious interest, but their offer didn’t satisfy Gorica’s leadership. Dinamo was also reportedly tracking his situation. Ultimately, Pozo chose Rodina Moscow, which offers him a chance to lead the team in its debut season among Europe’s elite.

What’s next for Gorica?

The transfer is expected to be officially confirmed soon, while Gorica continues preparations for the new campaign. Currently, the club sits 1st in the First League with 0 points, after its last loss—a 2-0 defeat to Krško (May 23, 2026). Their recent form over the past five matches stands at 2W-1D-2L (LWDWL).

How does this fit into the bigger picture?

Pozo was a key midfielder for Gorica in recent seasons, and his departure leaves a void. However, the transfer brings significant financial returns, which the club can use to strengthen its squad. With no points on the board yet, this move is one of the biggest successes in years.
