The summer transfer window has also ended in Slovenia, but official confirmations of last-minute deals are still “trickling” into the public a few days later. Official documentation reveals that Celje has also strengthened its squad with a player from Russia. An attacking midfielder born in Ukraine but holding a Russian passport, Artem Šolar, has moved to the princely city on loan from Russian giant Spartak Moscow, likely until the end of the year.
Artem Šolar did not play for Spartak’s first team in the Russian capital but proved himself with the reserves in the fourth Russian league, where he played 21 matches in 2024, registering a goal and five assists. The 21-year-old, standing at only 169 centimeters tall, previously honed his skills at Shakhtar Donetsk and was also part of the Russian club Zvezda Saint Petersburg. He signed with Spartak at the beginning of this year, and as mentioned, has moved to Celje on loan.
Artem Šolar, whose contract with Spartak runs only until the end of this calendar year, will only be able to help Celje in the Prva Liga Telemach, as the deadline to register players for the league stage of the Conference League has already passed.
