Maribor celebrated a million-dollar deal, Ivan Brnić had a dream transfer, but in the end… Olympiakos doesn’t count on him, and knocking on the Greeks’ door – Celje!

Not a day goes by without a new footballer appearing on the radar of Celje. Today, there are two. Celje wants Timi Max Elšnik, the captain of Olimpija, for whom they are also offering Nino Koutra. Another player on the radar of the Slovenian champion is none other than Ivan Brnić! When the fast-footed Croatian footballer signed with Olympiakos last summer, he left Slovenia as one of the best players in the Prva Liga Telemach. However, in Greece, where they paid 1.3 million euros for him, he encountered challenges that he evidently could not overcome.
Ivan Brnić, a former member of Maribor, played only four matches for the giant from Athens, which recently won the Conference League (the Croatian was not registered to play in Europe), spending a mere 76 minutes on the field. He fared slightly better in the reserve team, scoring three goals in seven matches, suggesting that his good performances in Maribor were not just a flash in the pan. Nonetheless, it seems he does not have a real future with the red and whites, which could be an opportunity for Celje.
According to well-informed sources close to the newly crowned Slovenian champion, Celje’s management has already established contact with the Greek giant, and if everything goes according to plan, it is not impossible that Ivan Brnić will soon be posing in a yellow and blue jersey. Celje’s coach Damir Krznar would undoubtedly be very pleased with this. In Maribor, he has already proven that he can get a lot out of the Dalmatian.
