Media mogul Acun Ilicali, who holds more than 100 million euros, publicly announced his arrival in Maribor. He also talked about wanting to bring Miha Zajc to Ljudski vrt, while admitting that he decided to come to Slovenia even though it could have cost him a lot. Now, the Maribor leadership has responded; they confirmed talks with the owner of Hull City, emphasizing that the discussions are not yet completely concluded.
“As we mentioned some time ago, NK Maribor is striving to find a strategic partner to help elevate the club to an even higher level in the future. We have done a lot of work in this area with the aim of reaching an agreement with a transparent and stable business partner. We are aware that this is an extremely important decision regarding the future of the club, and we are doing everything with the utmost responsibility towards the club and the fans. We are pleased that Mr. Acun Ilicali and his team have recognized NK Maribor as the most successful club and the best brand in Slovenia. We can confirm that we have met and started initial discussions. However, it is important to mention that this is not yet a completely concluded story,” they explained at the most successful Slovenian club of all time.
They continued on Mladinska ulica: “Within the framework of the Slovenian economy and with the sponsorship funds available, it is difficult to maintain a project at the desired level that would combine long-term financial stability with competitive ambitions. Based on research and insights from initial meetings, we in the club’s leadership are convinced that Mr. Ilicali is a suitable long-term strategic partner who shares our values and ambitions. After expressing mutual great interest in cooperation, the next phase is to coordinate the strategy of joint action and to specify the matters.“
