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.
