According to certain Portuguese media and some club insiders, Ivano Kolarik is a target for Porto. Portuguese sources indicate a plan for Kolarik to initially play for Porto's B team because of expected departures from that squad, with the possibility of him later joining the first team if he demonstrates his capabilities. Porto and Osijek are in contact. Osijek has set a price that is within Porto's financial reach; however, Porto is attempting to negotiate a lower price or an alternative payment structure.
