NK Osijek is facing a possible departure of young defender Ivan Kolarik to Portuguese club Porto. Kolarik showed potential last season and helped the club secure its spot in HNL. Porto is offering 1.5 million euros for the 19-year-old defender, but NK Osijek is seeking a higher fee. Kolarik played only 450 minutes last season, but impressed the scouts of the Portuguese club. If Kolarik leaves NK Osijek, it will be a significant loss for the club. Kolarik was one of the few bright spots for Osijek last season. The young defender got his first minutes in senior football and helped the club secure its spot in HNL ahead of Vukovar. Porto would first assign Kolarik to its B team, and if he proves himself there, he would be promoted to the first team. Porto's B team is expecting a major reconstruction this summer, and one of the new talents who could potentially lead the first team in the future is Kolarik. Dominik Prpić, who arrived last summer from Hajduk, already wears the Porto jersey. NK Osijek is waiting for a decision on Kolarik's transfer, which could have a significant impact on the club's future. The club is seeking a higher fee for the young defender, and it remains to be seen whether Porto will meet their demands.
