About the player
Nikola Soldo was born in Stuttgart and built his career through Croatian football, joining Inter Zaprešić's first team from the club's youth academy in July 2019. Two years later he moved on a free transfer to Lokomotiva Zagreb.
That move materialised in September 2022, when 1. FC Köln paid a transfer fee to bring the defender to the Bundesliga. He spent the 2023/24 season out on loan at 1. FC Kaiserslautern before returning to Köln, where his contract was terminated by mutual consent in February 2025. He now plays for Botev Plovdiv, wearing the number 4 shirt.
Soldo has represented Croatia at every youth level from under-18 through under-21, a run that included ten appearances and a goal for the under-21 side. He has not featured for the senior national team.
