Acun Ilicali, a Turkish tycoon with a wealth of 100 million, arrived in Slovenia this week, as confirmed by a post on his official Instagram profile. Among other things, he met with Aleksander Čeferin, the president of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) in Ljubljana, sparking rumors that the Turk is here due to his interest in Slovenian football. This has been reported by Sportklub.
Acun Ilicali, who also owns Hull City, is said to be interested in acquiring Olimpija, which has been under the control of Adam Delius since Milan Mandarić’s departure. Delius has brought the Dragons considerable competitive success, but at the same time, the club lacks a solid organizational foundation. Olimpija is still a club without its own stadium, without its own training center, without its own office, without many things. So, what could Adam Delius sell? Clearly: the team, the name, the tradition. For a few million euros? Well, at least for 10 million euros, as has been circulating through the streets of Ljubljana for some time.
But is Olimpija even for sale? And is Acun Ilicali truly a potential buyer of the current Slovenian champion? Adam Delius spoke up, making it crystal clear in a statement to EkipaSN: “I love my Olimpija, and I can assure you that I am not discussing any potential sale with anyone.”
