Sven Šoštarič Karič took advantage of the end of the summer transfer window to make another move abroad. The player, who proved himself in England during his younger years, has now moved to Russia, signing with Pari, a club where Luka Vešner Tičić, former midfielder of Koper, is already employed. Maribor admitted that they wanted to retain the defender with a new contract, but Sven Šoštarič Karič had other plans. Given that he was contractually bound to Maribor for only one more year, the sale was a logical move by the Styrian top-flight team.

This raises an interesting question: how much did Sven Šoštarič Karič’s transfer to the Russian top division bring into Maribor’s coffers? Initially, a figure of €200,000 circulated publicly, but this is evidently incorrect. At least according to Ekipa, which reports that the deal was significantly better. Pari reportedly paid around €600,000 for the former Domžale player. Considering that Sven Šoštarič Karič would have had the freedom to seek a new employer as of the 2025/26 season, it is clear that Maribor has managed to secure a very good deal.
