At this moment, there are quite a few interesting Slovenian footballers (Lovro Bizjak, Jan Andrejašič, Alen Krajnc…), who are currently without a club, and one of the latest to join them is Aljaž Ivačič. It has been known for several months that the former member of Olimpija would eventually become available. At Portland, they no longer counted on him, and not long ago, both parties finally found a way to terminate their collaboration prematurely.
30-year-old Aljaž Ivačič bid farewell to Portland after more than five years, during which he made 56 appearances and at one point was even one of the hottest goalkeepers in the entire MLS league. However, it is true that his time in the United States of America was also marked by injuries and, in the end, a significant dispute with the club, which led to Portland suspending the Slovenian goalkeeper for a short period.
Nevertheless, Portland is now a thing of the past for the former member of Olimpija Ljubljana, with whom he was also a national champion. Where he will continue his career is not yet known at this moment. Last year, some clubs from the MLS showed interest in him, and there were even rumors about a move to Scotland, where Celtic was said to be interested in him. However, it remained just speculation. It is not expected that Aljaž Ivačič will be unemployed for long, after all, he is a goalkeeper who has made it to the Slovenian national team with good performances.
