Port Adelaide ruckman Ivan Soldo is "believed" to be open to a trade for the second consecutive year.

Soldo is contracted at the Power until the end of 2026, but a host of Victorian clubs could look at bringing him across.

The 29-year-old joined the Alberton club ahead of the 2024 season, but managing injuries and dealing with poor form, he's only played nine matches in two years, including a solitary game in 2025.

Soldo attempted to return to Victoria via St Kilda 12 months ago, but was ultimately held to his contract.

The Saints may have another bite at the apple, given Rowan Marshall's desire to depart due to the incoming Tom De Koning.

Essendon has farewelled Sam Draper (Brisbane) and Todd Goldstein (delisted) from their ruck stocks, and would be an area of focus during this off-season.

Carlton would've previously been a suitor had they not successfully traded in Fremantle tall Liam Reidy.

Collingwood poses as another option as they've told veteran Mason Cox to explore his opportunities in a bid to extend his career, and have a pair of emerging ruckmen who have yet to debut. As do Melbourne, who have been looking for a Max Gawn successor.

Richmond may also be into reuniting with Soldo as captain Toby Nankervis enters the twilight of his career.
