NK Brinje Grosuplje is without a doubt a prime example of what can be achieved in Slovenia with good systematic work in the long run. The team from Dolenjska is fighting for promotion to the Prva liga Telemach in the 2. SNL, while the club’s youth team is at the top of the Eon NextGen league table. A team of dedicated, hardworking, and certainly well-versed football enthusiasts is evidently doing very good work, which could receive further validation with a significant transfer abroad this summer. As we’ve learned, the talented Jaka Zrnec, a mere 17-year-old goalkeeper from NK Brinje Grosuplje, where he has been playing since the beginning of his career, has caught the attention of two clubs from the elite Italian Serie A.
Born in 2006, the footballer has already proven himself on two age levels this season. He has played 15 matches in the youth Eon NextGen league, and he has also recorded 7 appearances in the second football league. Among the youth teams, he has conceded only 15 goals, keeping a clean sheet 4 times. In the second league, he has conceded only eight times, which is undoubtedly a very encouraging statistic for such a young goalkeeper.
And because good word travels fast, it’s not surprising that Jaka Zrnec has already become of interest to other clubs. Among others, he is – as mentioned – on the radar of two clubs from the Italian peninsula. Jaka Zrnec has attracted the attention of Atalanta, where Josip Iličić once shone, and he has also been marked in the transfer records of Bologna. Both clubs are at the top of the Italian Serie A table. Bologna is even fourth and on an excellent path to the Champions League; they have a seven-point lead over fifth-placed Roma. Atalanta is sixth and also on the verge of securing at least a spot in the Europa League.
If the transfer does indeed happen, Jaka Zrnec will have to prove himself initially in the youth academy of one of the two clubs, and NK Brinje Grosuplje can hope for a good profit in any case. Recall that not long ago, when teenage defender Dominik Drobnič left Bravo for Parma, the people of Ljubljana earned €200,000. What a similar amount would mean for the Grosuplje club, however, goes without saying…
