Germanijak reports on Rijeka's changing interest in 24-year-old Croatian midfielder Leon Belcar and the player's potential future moves. Rijeka had previously shown interest in Leon Belcar, reportedly due to his versatility and ability to play as a number 6, 8, and 10. The club's interest in the Varaždin player decreased after Barco and Pavić were signed during the winter. Speculation re-emerged for a short time when Ilinković transferred to Varaždin, but that transfer was reportedly for the purpose of resolving previous financial arrangements. While at one point a transfer to Rijeka seemed possible, the deal was not completed, and it now appears more likely that Belcar will pursue his career outside of the HNL. Belcar, who has made 6 appearances for the Croatia U21 team, joined his current club in July 2021 and is under contract until the end of 2027. In the 25/26 SuperSport HNL season, he has scored one goal in 16 appearances. His market value is estimated to be €500k by Transfermarkt.
