Why would you fight with HNK Gorica for staying in the 1st HNL when you could fight with
Maribor
for the title of Slovenian champion? This seems to be the thought of Hillal Soudani, the star forward from Algeria, who officially became a new member of the Slovenian giant on Monday. The former Dinamo Zagreb player, who also played for Nottingham Forest in England and Olympiakos in Greece, has signed a contract with Maribor until 2025.
“A great moment for NK Maribor, our third reinforcement doesn’t need a long introduction. Hillal Soudani is a great reinforcement, there are not many such players in the Slovenian league, if there ever were. He is a player of exceptional quality, the best foreigner to play for Dinamo and has had a rich international career. We know what we are missing. We need to be more dangerous on the offensive end, and that’s what we’ve gained with his arrival. Soudani is in a physical condition that will allow him to play at a high level for many years to come. It brings a different understanding of football and an energy you rarely see. He knows the coach, the club and the environment, having lived nearby for a long time, which will also be an important starting point. His arrival means what we wanted. So that in the most difficult moments, the most experienced players will bear the brunt. We are satisfied with the start of the transfer period, I believe that the team will be assembled by the time we leave for the preparatory base in Moravske Toplice and that it will be worth visiting Maribor’s games in the new season,” is for
