According to information from Lorenzo Lepore, Iuri Tavares is a primary target for the Split club. It is also reported that French Ligue 1 club Auxerre and Belgian club Gent have a serious interest in him, and that both can financially compete with Hajduk. Sources close to the player claim that there are no concrete offers yet and that the situation is speculative. American club Charlotte FC retained the right to 20% of the next sale, and Varaždin will seek a higher compensation to cover that percentage.

Italian journalist Lorenzo Lepore reports that Hajduk is seriously interested in Iuri Tavares. Tavares is a 24-year-old winger from Varaždin with Cape Verdean and Portuguese nationality. He joined the club in the summer from the American side Charlotte. According to Lepore, French club Auxerre and Belgian side Gent are also interested in the player. Tavares has one cap for Cape Verde. Negotiations have not yet been officially confirmed, but it is expected that concrete developments could occur during the winter transfer window. The interest from other clubs could affect the transfer fee for Hajduk. This season, Tavares has made 12 domestic league appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. His contract expires on May 31, 2028. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €800k.
