Lukas Kacavenda

Lukas Kacavenda of Dinamo Zagreb was born in Zagreb, Croatia on 2 March 2003 (age 23).

Lukas Kacavenda, born on 2 March 2003 (age 23), is a Croatian central midfielder with Dinamo Zagreb. His current market value is around £2m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league campaign so far came in 2024-25, when he scored two goals in 24 appearances for Dinamo Zagreb. It was a useful return for a midfielder still building his senior profile rather than a headline-grabbing one, which is usually no bad thing at that stage.

In 2026-27, Kacavenda has made nine appearances in all competitions for Dinamo Zagreb, scoring four goals. That includes three goals in six Champions League qualifying appearances, alongside one goal from three HNL matches.

Kacavenda remains a developing Croatian midfielder whose senior work is centred on Dinamo Zagreb, with steady league involvement and a sharper recent contribution in European qualifying.
