German sources say manager Rafa Benitez sees Hamburg's Olic as the ideal foil for Fernando Torres.

Goalscorer: Olic (above) sweeps home Croatia's second goal past Germany's Jens Lehmann in their group match and (below) wheels away in delight

"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!

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