Dalmatinski Portal reports on Istra's interest in signing free agent goalkeeper Ivan Banić as a potential replacement. Banić, who recently left Gorica, is a seasoned goalkeeper turning 31 in July. While initially considered for a move to Hajduk to support young goalkeeper Toni Silić, the transfer did not materialize despite initial talks. Banić remains a free agent and Istra sees him as an ideal candidate due to his experience and proven track record in the SHNL. The club is keen to bring him on board as he is available without a transfer fee.
