Rijeka was interested in signing Fran Karačić, a 28-year-old defender from Lokomotiva and soon-to-be member of the Australian national team. However, the deal seems to have fallen through as Rijeka shifted focus to Ante Oreč.

Rijeka is interested in acquiring Fran Karačić, a 28-year-old right-back from Lokomotiva, as part of their winter transfer activities. Karačić, who has played 23 matches this season for Lokomotiva, scoring two goals and providing three assists, is seen as a potential reinforcement for the team. Rijeka, having already signed several players during this transfer window, is likely to make another move to strengthen their squad by adding Karačić from Lokomotiva.
