Port Adelaide ruckman Ivan Soldo is reportedly "a watch" in this year's upcoming trade period despite having joined the club less than 12 months ago.
Soldo departed Richmond after 57 games and a 2019 premiership flag for more opportunities, given he fell behind Toby Nankervis, resulting in eight games across 2023.
However, despite the lure of a fresh start under new direction, Soldo has lived a similar fate at the Power.
A watch on Ivan Soldo at @PAFC this trade period. The ruckman has a level of disenchantment one season into his career at the Power. Has battled a knee injury, was dropped for Round 15 and now lost his spot to Jordon Sweet. @1116sen

The 28-year-old's life in teal and black began positively before injuries and form derailed his spot in Ken Hinkley's side.
Recruited alongside Jordon Sweet from the Western Bulldogs, Soldo has once again become second fiddle, withย SEN's Sam Edmund believing a "level of disenchantment" has emerged.
No clubs have been flagged as suitors of yet but GWS has previously shown interest in the past while Adelaide could inquire about his future.
The Crows have struggled to lockdown a ruck in 2024, with Reilly O'Brien dropped throughout the season to make room for mature-ager Kieran Strachan.
Geelong could be a potential suitor as the club will need to look at the future after Rhys Stanley leaves, while the experiment to put premiership defender Sam De Koning in the ruck can be viewed as a risk.
Melbourne's another club that would be wise to ask the question, given Max Gawn's need for assistance.
The Tigers could also welcome back Soldo in their bid to bolster the midfield.
