Ivan Smolčić is reportedly considering a return to Rijeka due to limited playing time at Como. With Rijeka leading in the SHNL and possibly qualifying for the Champions League, they may need to strengthen their squad. Smolčić has indicated a strong connection to Rijeka, referring to it as his home and not dismissing the idea of a return. His initial transfer from Rijeka to Como was confirmed in February for a fee of two million euros. Although he made an impressive debut against Juventus and was initially a regular in Como's lineup, his playing time decreased after a match against Milan, where Como's performance improved with Mergim Vojvoda in his position. This situation has led Smolčić to contemplate his future, with a return to Rijeka being a potential option as the club seeks to enhance its squad for possible Champions League participation. Smolčić's emotional farewell to Rijeka implied that a future return was always on his mind, as he suggested that his departure was not a final goodbye but a temporary farewell.
