Also heard we are looking at a young Spanish defender who plays in Croatia. No name unfortunately.

Raul Torriente, Spanish centre-back, plays for Zagreb according to Transfermarkt. Maybe him.

Dominguez?

Wishy, he is the only Spanish defender I can see registered to a side (Dinamo Zagreb) currently playing in the Croatian top flight.
Also, interesting to see Hugo Guillamon is now at Hajduk Split. He is more of a 6, who can also play in the back four if required.
He had a lot of hype when he was younger at Valencia. He is soon to turn 27, so he could perhaps be a slightly more experienced head to add to the squad?

I remember Guillamon from FM, Legal.

Dominguez was schooled in La Masia. A tip from Hansi Flick, possibly. ?

Wishy, yes, good player. Three caps for Spain a few years back. Turning 27 suggests he's not the player alluded to by the Op.
I missed Sergi Dominguez from the Spanish players currently in Croatia. I don't know much about him, but the La Masia schooling means he's probably the link, as Angus appropriately alludes to.

Sorry troops, never got a name.

MPH, there are only a limited number of Spanish defenders playing in Croatia, so it is easier to have a guess at with the information you gave out. A couple of them look decent as well.
Throwing another element into it, Alaves seem to have some sort of loan agreement with NK Istra 1961.
It seems that Dani Olmo playing in Croatia for a while has made it (slightly?) a more popular destination for Spanish players.

Sam of Orange, which Dominguez, Carlos or Sergi, of the 2 Spanish centre halves are we interested in, mate? ?
