In July 2021, the deal was extended to a loan until 31 January 2022, as he faced tough competition in his position at Dinamo.[11][12]

Ćuže spent the remainder of the 2021–22 season playing in the second division for Druga NL team Dinamo Zagreb II.[13] On 2 May 2022, he scored one goal and provided an assist in a match against Dubrava that ended in a 3–1 victory.[14]
