In Saturday, the summer transfer window will also close in Slovenia, with Maribor once again presenting a new reinforcement to the public. After a long 13 years, Luka Krajnc has returned to Ljudski vrt, a player who in recent days has been linked by the media in Italy with a move to Cyprus, but the former Slovenian international preferred to sign with his home club. Luka Krajnc has previously spent eight years in Maribor, and now he has signed a contract with the Štajerski team until summer 2026 with the option to extend for an additional 12 months.
“I am happy to be coming home. It’s hard to describe the feelings. Since everything has happened in such a short time, it might be too soon to gather my impressions. When the opportunity for a move or, in my case, a return to Maribor arose, I had no doubts. I am especially looking forward to joining the team and being able to wear the purple jersey again. My story is far from over; for me, this is a new beginning. I return more experienced, with valuable insights from abroad. Since I am coming back to my club, my city, the motivation is even stronger, and I will do everything I can to help achieve the club’s goals,” Luka Krajnc said for the club’s website.
The 29-year-old central defender, who has worn the Slovenia jersey 4 times, transferred from Maribor to Genoa in 2011, and has also played abroad for Cesena, Cagliari, Sampdoria, Frosinone, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Hannover, and most recently Catanzaro from the second Italian league.
