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.
Victorian clubs looking for ruck depth believe Ivan Soldo is again a trade option this year.
Soldo has one year remaining on his deal at Port and was largely injury free throughout 2025.
The ruck was keen to get to @stkildafc in 2024, it didn’t work out, but he’s open to any…

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.
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.
Quote; “Richmond may also be into reuniting with Soldo as captain Toby Nankervis enters the twilight of his career.” Soldo is also entering the twilight of his career & should have stay at Tigerland. Ivan a huge career mistake as he was liked at Tigerland.
