Slaven Belupo appear to be closing in on Jakov Puljić, the 33-year-old forward who is on the way out at Rijeka. According to the report, the Koprivnica club had also shown interest in the summer, but the move stalled over finances.
Puljić’s position at Rijeka has become untenable. After a red card in Pula, Rijeka president Damir Mišković publicly told the player to ask his agent to find him a new club. The message made it clear that the experienced attacker is unlikely to remain at Rujevica for much longer.
The key question now is whether the financial obstacles that blocked the deal earlier in the year can be overcome. The source material leaves the details of the current negotiations unclear, so the outcome remains open.
