Enej Jelenic proves why the league’s leading club wants him with a new goal, but Padova is not in favour of his departure
Enej Jelenič
is heading into 2023 in good shape. Very good shape. The 30-year-old, who has been earning his living in neighbouring Italy for a long time, has been among the scorers or passers in each of his last three matches for his club Padova. He scored the only goal for his team in a 1-1 draw against Juventus ‘ reserve team, against local rivals Vicenza (also 1-1) in front of 11,000 spectators, and was also one of the scorers on Saturday.
Padova hosted Pro Patria and won 3-0. Enej Jelenič, who came on after an hour of play, scored in the 78th minute. Padova’s lead was increased to 2-0 on 2 minutes, his second goal of the season and the 10th for the club.
Enej Jelenič has been the target of transfer rumours in Italy for a few days. Interest in the former Slovenian international is expected to be shown by
Pordenone
, which leads the Serie C standings and is on track for promotion to Serie B. According to local media, Padova are not happy about the idea of staying without Jelenic. At the same time, it is true that the Slovenian’s contract expires in the summer, which could be grist for Pordenone’s mill.
