HNK Rijeka Preparing for the Return Match in the Championship
On Rujevici, HNK Rijeka is seeking reinforcements on two primary positions that are currently considered vulnerable. The success against Derry City with a total score of 2:0 in the European challenge has motivated the club, but preparations for the match have reignited interest at the transfer front.
Seeking Fresh Faces for Goalkeeper and Wing-Back Positions
Coach Matjaž Kek has already signaled that the team needs fresh blood. Sportske Novosti reports that there is no hesitation in searching for a new wing-back, with sports director Darko Raić-Sudar engaged in talks with one foreign player who could immediately 'land' in the first team.
Interest in Igor Vekić and Marina Šotiček
In addition to the wing-back position, Kek is clearly interested in strengthening the goalkeeper position. The focus is on 28-year-old Igor Vekić, currently the goalkeeper of Danish Vejle. While the club has great faith in young Aleksu Todorović, a Slovenian specialist insists on strong competition among goalkeepers. Coach and Vekić know each other well from their time in the Slovenia national team, where he was given five appearances as a substitute to Jan Oblak.
