Damir Krznar wanted to revive the cooperation with his compatriot, but Marko Tolić had different plans: Celje’s target continues to be in Bratislava

While Luka Modrić may have been one of the most unreal transfer targets for any Slovenian club of all time, it seemed much more likely that Celje would succeed in luring a footballer whom coach Damir Krznar knows well. Marko Tolić was his protege both at Dinamo and also at Maribor. Now, the Celje coach wanted to bring him to the princely city, but that wish is evidently not going to come true.
The footballer who secured the cup trophy for Maribor last year has indeed severed ties with the Zagreb club once and for all, but will actually remain where he has been this season. Slovan, with whom Kenan Bajrić signed a new contract, has exercised the option to buy and has definitively kept Marko Tolić in Bratislava.
27-year-old Marko Tolić played 41 matches for Slovan in his first season in Slovakia, scoring 12 goals and adding 5 assists to his statistics. For the club from the Slovak capital, this was enough; they have definitively bought the attacking midfielder and signed him until 2026.
“I am happy that I can continue playing for Slovan even after the end of the loan. I feel very good in Bratislava and I am convinced that we will succeed in achieving all the set goals in the future. I’m really looking forward to the moments ahead,” said Marko Tolić. Additionally, it should be noted that Slovan is parting ways with Serbian goalkeeper Milan Borjan, who was sent off in the European match against Olimpija. The 36-year-old footballer is returning to Red Star Belgrade.
