Ivica Olic
Bundesliga: Olic on future - Setanta Sports

Croatia attacker Ivica Olic, reportedly a target for Liverpool, expects to remain at Hamburg next season.

The hard-running forward has impressed for Slaven Bilic's side in Euro 2008 and has attracted a new army of admirers with his selfless performances.

Reports in Germany claim Rafa Benitez fancies Olic to work the flanks at Anfield next term and supply the ammunition for leading scorer Fernando Torres.

However, Olic admits he is likely to remain in the Bundesliga despite his exploits in Austria and Switzerland.

"All this is not currently an issue for me," he told Mopo when asked about interest from Italy, England and Spain.

"I want to, and must have, my mind on the European Championship - for Croatia!

"Once I'm back home, I will quickly get together with HSV.

"I think I'll play next year for Hamburg. And even longer. But so much is possible in football."

Hamburg hope to resume contractual talks with the 28-year-old on his return from the finals, but the birth of a new baby could play some part in the thinking regarding his future.

Nevertheless, he is quoted by Spox as saying: "To play with a great club in England is a dream for me."

Liverpool are said to have scouted the left-sided forward during the tournament and been impressed with his work-rate and ability.

Olic, who has drawn great praise from national team coach Slaven Bilic, is under contract until the end of next season.

Re: Ivica Olic
Was just about to post that.

Looks decent this tournament.

Anyone watched him a bit more regularly?

Re: Ivica Olic
I've been a big fan of Ivica Olic since his days at CSKA. Really did well with them and was glad to see him get a chance in Germany.

Hard working guy with some pace... A lot like Kuyt, really, but without Kuyt's unlimited engine.

Probably the ideal for our left side when Babel isn't around but he's not a massive goal contributor.


edit: I think a few of our posters heads would explode witH Kuyt and Olic on the pitch at the sametime. Hahahaa...

Re: Ivica Olic
The only Croatian good enough for the Reds is Modric and he's off to Spurs. No thanks to any other Croat interested in moving to Liverpool.

Re: Ivica Olic
Corluka, Srna and Kranjcar are all good enough to play for us.

Bit naive to say that, Rakitic and Corluka would definantly be good enough for Liverpool.

Re: Ivica Olic
The only Croat I would have had is Modric and the only Ruskie I would have is Arshavin.

He has been fantastic.

I must admit I had never really heard of him before & still don't know who he plays for.

He plays in the Dutch League and last I heard... they are fighting to keep him after how well he's played for Croatia in qualifyers and such.
