Damir Zukić, a just 20-year-old defender from Slovenia, has taken a significant step forward in his career this summer. The young talent from Vrhnika made his first move abroad after only a few matches with Primorje in the Prva liga Telemach. He signed a contract with the Italian giant AC Milano, agreeing to a deal until 2027. Currently, Damir Zukić is not yet in contention for the first team Rossoneri; for now, he is a member of the U23 team competing in Serie C. He is still awaiting his debut in the shirt of one of the biggest clubs in football history.
Interestingly, this change in club environment may not be the only significant shift in the career of the 2004 born defender this year. According to the portal BHlopta, Damir Zukić has successfully applied for citizenship of Bosnia and Herzegovina, from where his roots originate, and has received a passport from that country this week.
There has already been interest from BiH to have Damir Zukić wear their national jersey, so there is a real possibility that Slovenia may lose a promising footballer. It will be interesting to see if the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) responds and invites the young player to the U21 national team, which is successfully managed by Milenko Aćimović.
