From New York straight to Planet Football! This time, our website was visited by Mitja Ilenič, a young Slovenian footballer who made a bold decision over a year ago – he swapped Domžale for the “Big Apple”. Today, Mitja Ilenič is a member of New York City FC, part of the group that includes English giant Manchester City. Our journalist Nik Brumen spoke with him about various interesting topics, including when we might see him back on European football pitches…
“There were a lot of offers. Even when I was leaving Domžale and also this past winter. There were many rumors, and Verona was quite close. In the end, I turned down the opportunity to move to Italy because I’m currently at a club where I have everything I need for development. The decision to move to the USA wasn’t easy, it was tough because I went far from home. But as I said, I have everything I need. As for Europe… It will have to wait a bit. I’m not in a hurry. I don’t want to rush. The hidden desire is, of course, to play in one of the top 5 leagues, but we’ll see when I’ll be ready for that move. Nevertheless, I have great agents by my side who take care of me and also ensure that my mind is focused solely on football. I learned in Domžale that it’s not good when thoughts of a transfer start filling your head,” Mitja Ilenič said in the nearly 18-minute interview for Planet Football.
