Is this why Timi Max Elšnik doesn’t leave Olimpija? All the money from the transfer fee goes to Milan Mandarić, claims the former club president.

When former Slovenian international Mladen Rudonja touched upon the reason why Timi Max Elšnik is still a member of Olimpija despite excellent performances in one of his stories written for Planet Football (The Primorje will soon return with a new…), he also threw a “bone to chew”: “Recently, with a great deal of astonishment, I read Adam Delius’ statement that Timi Max Elšnik wouldn’t be sold even for 10 million euros. Hello?! If I were a journalist, I would ask him just one question about this: why? Let’s be honest. Anyone normal in Slovenia would take the player to another club for 10 million euros. So I’m really curious: why. Why such a statement? What’s behind it? There’s definitely something… Who knows, maybe someone will eventually muster the courage to ask Adam Delius: why?”
At least so far, no one has questioned Adam Delius about the Olimpija captain, but Milan Mandarić “bit into” and as the first one publicly revealed or confirmed not exactly the best-kept secret, which had been circulating as a rumor in Slovenian club football for some time.
Not only Elšnik, but also Pavlović
“I am disappointed because I haven’t received what is in the contract so far. It also includes a clause that entitles me to a certain percentage of the reward for Olimpija’s qualification for the group stage of European competitions. I believed that Olimpija would succeed, as I left it very close to the top. In Europe, we know that a lot of money is earned. Later, at the request of the new owners, we signed an annex and reduced the percentage I receive from this reward, while in return it was written that I am entitled to the entire compensation for the sale of Michael Pavlović and Timi Max Elšnik. I don’t want any war with the Olimpija management, but we are already reviewing the matter with lawyers to get what is rightfully mine,” Milan Mandarić told Sportklub, implying that he still hopes for money from Elšnik, while Michael Pavlović left for Bonifika as a free player some time ago.
The new Vice President of Vojvodina emphasized at the end: “When Timi Max Elšnik is sold, that money belongs to me. It’s written in the contract. This is in exchange for giving up a certain part of the reward for Olimpija’s qualification for the group stage of European competitions.”
