Stratos Svarnas admitted that Vancouver Whitecaps expressed a definite interest in signing him during the winter transfer window. Svarnas stated that the arrangements on his part for the move were already settled. However, he said the clubs did not reach an agreement. The player added that he could have played in Vancouver, but the move did not materialize.

Stratos Svarnas was linked with Vancouver Whitecaps during the winter transfer window, and it is possible the Major League Soccer club will renew their interest in the summer.

Vancouver Whitecaps are interested in Raków Częstochowa's key defender, Stratos Svarnas, an interest which dates back to the summer transfer window. Artur Płatek of the club's sports division previously told TVP Sport that Svarnas had been promised he could leave if an attractive offer was made. While Svarnas is tempted by the MLS, he is currently staying at Raków, and squad changes would need to happen at Vancouver for a deal to be completed.
