Therefore, in 2003 he was loaned to "Zrinjski Mostar" and in 2004 to "Inter Zaprešić".

In his first regular-season as a "Dinamo" senior, he scored seven goals in 31 games. This is a very good result. In his second season with "Dinamo", he received the "Prva HNL Player of the Year Award". He also led the team to win the 2007 "Croatia Cup".

In 2012, Luka moved to "Real Madrid". His excellent performance earned him a "team of the season" before the end of the 2013-2014 "Champions League".
