- Ivan Soldo has requested his return to Melbourne
- The ruckman moved to Adelaide with his glamorous WAG
- But she moved to Dubai because she couldn’t stand living there.
Port Adelaide star Ivan Soldo, who was dumped by the “sexiest WAG in the game”, has requested a trade away from the club after his girlfriend dumped him because she couldn’t stand living in South Australia.
Chelsea Beciveric left her glamorous Melbourne lifestyle to follow her then boyfriend Soldo to the City of Churches last November when he transferred from Richmond to Port Adelaide.
However, it proved that the novelty of living in “Radelaide” had completely worn off, and six months later she took to Instagram to announce she was moving to Dubai to start a new life working for an airline.
In response to questions from her followers, the 23-year-old said: “I’ve always wanted to work for Emirates, live in Dubai and travel the world. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”
Asked if she would bring anyone with her, Becirevic replied: “I’ll do it alone. I’ve never moved anywhere alone, so it will be nice to gain some independence.”
“I’ve always wanted to move abroad, so I think it will be an exciting new chapter for me.”
While she stressed that she and Soldo have no issues, she revealed: “He had to move to Adelaide for his career and honestly it’s been a struggle for me.”
“Living in Adelaide is not for me permanently,” he added, followed by a black heart emoji.
Ivan Soldo has asked to return to Melbourne after just one year in Adelaide
“For the moment it’s okay, but in the long term, in Australia, I think Melbourne or Gold Coast are suitable places for me… maybe even Sydney.”
According to the AFL official websiteSoldo is looking for an escape route from Port Adelaide and has requested a trade from the club.
Melbourne-based side St Kilda are reportedly interested in acquiring the ruckman, who played just eight senior games for the Power this year.
Football journalist Callum Twomey wrote on X: “Soldo has struggled to adapt to life in Adelaide and after a year he is eager to return to Melbourne. The Saints can partner him with Rowan Marshall as a point of difference.”
When he announced his departure to Dubai, a follower asked him how Soldo took the news.
Becirevic showed his sense of humour by posting a photo of himself looking towards the corner of an elevator with his hands at his sides accompanied by the words “surprisingly he is taking it very well”.
The player moved to Adelaide with his partner Chelsea, but she left for Dubai after six months.
The glamorous WAG revealed that she had a hard time adjusting to the City of Churches
She moved to Dubai to work for an airline, but said she would try to make the relationship work.
She also wrote that they plan to keep their relationship “long distance for a while” and for him to travel with her in the offseason, but also admitted they will struggle with his inability to visit her before Port’s campaign ends later this year.
Becirevic’s concerns about Adelaide were foreshadowed when the biomedical science student first announced the move last November, shortly after turning heads and being announced as one of Australia’s most attractive WAGs when she and Soldo attended Richmond’s Best and Fairest awards.
“To be honest, I can’t say I ever thought I’d move to Adelaide,” she wrote.
“I’ve never been to Adelaide so I have no idea what to expect… and I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews.”
