Franko Kolić Scout File: What Level Is Istra’s 23-Year-Old Number One?
Quick scout answer: Kolić carries Istra’s number-one shirt at 23: valued at €500k, signed to 2027, at the young end of the HNL keeper market. Keeper valuations peak late — a number one at 23 means a market multiple at 27-28. Team output gives a partial read: Istra beat Dinamo 2-1 (9 Nov 2025), won 2-1 at Hajduk (25 Jan 2026) and 2-0 at Rijeka (15 Mar 2026) — results that require a standing goalkeeper — while 50 goals conceded across the season keeps the consistency question open. Watch: PSxG+/- once available, aerial and distribution quality, his place in the Croatian keeper export line.
Representative projection from limited viewing.
Verdict
Passive monitoring — if 2026/27 is a consistency season, the sell-or-extend call before the 2027 expiry is the critical threshold. Where data is insufficient, no score is issued.
