Matjaž Kek wants Igor Vekić at Rijeka. Igor Vekić also wants to move to Rijeka. According to Sportklub, Vekić has rejected an offer from a Spanish second division club to facilitate the move. The transfer has not yet been completed. There are two obstacles: Vekić is recovering from a finger injury and Vejle is demanding a high transfer fee for him. Rijeka currently cannot pay the high fee, but their financial situation may improve after the sale of Toni Fruk, which is expected to bring in a multi-million euro fee.

Sportklub reports that Igor Vekić is seeking a new club and has one year left on his contract with Vejle. The same source states that Vekić has rejected some offers from Spain due to a specific desire to move to Rijeka. According to Sportklub, Rijeka cannot afford the transfer fee without making a significant outgoing transfer. A finger injury caused Vekić to miss the entire June international cycle.

According to Nogomanija, Slovenian national team goalkeeper Igor Vekić is a serious candidate to move to Rijeka. It is also stated that Vekić does not intend to stay at Danish club Vejle, which has just been relegated from the top Danish league.

Rijeka is searching for a new goalkeeper as club captain Martin Zlomislić is reportedly near a transfer to Qarabag. According to information learned by Ižak Ante Sučić, Oliver Zelenika is the primary target, while 28-year-old Slovenian international Igor Vekić is also a significant candidate. Vekić does not intend to remain with his Danish club, Vejle, after its recent relegation, and Matjaž Kek could be a decisive factor in the transfer.
