Timi Max Elšnik has, as anticipated, become a part of Olimpija’s past. He will now prove himself in Belgrade, where he will wear the jersey of Crvena Zvezda. His transfer to the former European champion, which we in Slovenia were the first to announce, has been officially confirmed, despite the fact that Olimpija’s president Adam Delius loudly emphasized just days ago that the Slovenian national team member was not for sale. However, the transfer did eventually take place, and Adam Delius emphasized that Olimpija ultimately fulfilled its captain’s great wish.
Adam Delius’ statement on Olimpija’s official website:
Today is a great day for Olimpija and an even greater day for our captain Timi Max Elšnik.
For four and a half years, Timi has been part of the club and one of Olimpija’s most important players. During this time, he grew and openly progressed in Ljubljana. Despite injuries during tough moments, he persisted and, with the help of the medical team, always returned to competitive rhythm. His determination to come back even stronger could not be broken.
Upon his return to the field, Timi embarked on a special journey both for himself and for the club. He was the key player and conductor of Olimpija’s game. In crucial moments, he took responsibility and led the team from victory to victory, and ultimately to a double crown. He was also the player who led the club to the greatest success in its history. Under his leadership, Olimpija played in the group stage of the Conference League for the first time. His performances helped him open the doors to the national team, with which he participated in the last European Championship and reached the round of 16.
His wish to leave the club was granted, even though it was one of the toughest decisions.
Timi Max Elšnik is now, after Svit Sešlar, the second player to leave the club and make a financial leap from both a personal and club perspective in Slovenian terms. We are delighted that he will soon hear the Champions League anthem with his new club – Crvena Zvezda. These are undoubtedly the dreams of every footballer. Olimpija was his springboard, and he successfully took advantage of the opportunity.
To a player like our captain, who gave so much to the team and the club, we can only say upon farewell: “Timi, thank you very much for everything. We wish you and your family all the best and much luck on your new journey.”
