Josip Elez is in negotiations to sign for Vukovar, and the situation is expected to become clearer by the end of the week. The move would be part of an effort by the second-to-last team in the HNL to reinforce its defense during the winter transfer period. Elez has been a free agent since his contract with Hajduk expired last summer, ending a four-year tenure. There was a possibility he might remain at the club under a new deal with reduced financial terms, but this did not materialize. According to Transfermarkt, the player is currently valued at 250,000 euros.
