At the end of last year, Maribor made a grand announcement about the arrival of a footballer they believed would make a significant impact in the purple jersey. The transfer was substantial by Slovenian standards, with Koper selling their star player and captain for around 200,000 euros. Less than a year later, Maks Barišić finds himself in a position he did not anticipate. He is not enjoying a dream status at Maribor. In fact, he might find himself grateful for every minute he gets on the field as the season progresses.
It’s no longer a well-kept secret that Maribor wanted to offload the 29-year-old winger at the end of the summer transfer window. According to our sources and reports from Ekipe, they actually offered the player to the club from which they had bought him—Koper. Maribor was willing to send the player back to Bonifika on loan and even “compensate” for the remaining amount owed to the Primorje for the transfer.
However, Maribor’s plan did not go as hoped. The coastal club did not agree to the proposed solution. Maks Barišić therefore remained in the Styrian capital, and it will be interesting to see what the next few months hold for him. It’s worth noting that he has a contract for another two years and earns a decent salary. But money isn’t everything, and who knows, Maks Barišić might reconsider his future if another opportunity to leave Maribor arises this winter.
