With Rijeka's captain and goalkeeper Martin Zlomislić close to a transfer to Qarabag, the club is searching for a replacement. While other goalkeepers are being considered, 24-year-old Croatian goalkeeper Renato Josipović, who ended his contract with Široki Brijeg, has been mentioned as a possible new player. However, this option is currently considered the least likely, as it is more probable the club will seek a more experienced player for the position. Josipović has played for Croatia at the U21 level and his current market value is €300k, according to Transfermarkt.
