Vissel Kobe interested in signing Croatian midfielder Stanko Jurić
Vissel Kobe is reportedly interested in acquiring Croatian midfielder Stanko Jurić from Spanish second-division club Real Valladolid. According to reports from Spanish media outlets, including Radio MARCA Valladolid and Pucerá Fichajes, Jurić has drawn interest from clubs in Japan and South America.
Jurić, a 30-year-old defensive midfielder standing 188 cm tall, has extensive European experience, having played for Hajduk Split in Croatia and Parma in Italy. During the previous season in Spain, he made 35 appearances for Valladolid. Real Valladolid is currently looking to offload surplus players before the transfer window closes, making a move for Jurić a possibility if an offer satisfies all parties.
While concrete negotiations have not yet reached an advanced stage, Jurić has recently followed Vissel Kobe's official Instagram account, fueling speculation regarding a potential move to the J.League.
