They were chasing Luka Modrić and some other stars of world football, but they found their first reinforcement in neighboring Italy. Celje has officially confirmed the arrival of a new goalkeeper, with Lovro Štubljar donning the equipment of the Slovenian champion. The 19-year-old Lovro Štubljar already introduced himself to the Slovenian football public in the second part of last season when he wore the jersey of Domžale. As a member of the yellow family, he proved that he is among the most promising Slovenian goalkeepers. Domžale wanted to keep him in their ranks, but they could not compete with the offer from Celje.

Lovro Štubljar is moving to Štajerska as a loaned player from Empoli, and Celje has also agreed with the Italian top-tier club on the option for a permanent purchase at the end of the 2024/25 season. How much Celje will have to pay the club from Tuscany if they want to keep the teenager in their ranks is unknown.
It will be interesting to see what role the young man will take in the princely city, but the fact is that there is considerable competition for the goalkeeper position. In the just-finished season, the experienced Matko Obradović and Matjaž Rozman alternated between the posts, both backed up by Metod Jurhar. It is expected that at least one of them will now say goodbye.
