Turkish tycoon Acun Ilicali, who also owns the English club Hull City, recently stirred up quite a bit of controversy in Slovenia with a media appearance in his homeland. Ilicali confirmed rumors that he wants to buy a club in the land on the sunny side of the Alps, but he did not reveal which one he is interested in. Nogomania previously mentioned Olimpija, while Delo hinted at Maribor, and according to our information, Ilicali has indeed been in talks with Mura.
When asked about the rumors, particularly those involving Maribor, the newspaper Večer reached out to the club from Ljudski vrh and received a response stating that there is generally considerable interest in collaboration. However, they neither confirmed nor denied that one of the potential business partners could be Ilicali.
“Interest in collaborating with NK Maribor understandably comes from various sources, and regarding any potential next steps, we will carefully consider all options to determine who would be among the most suitable investors, as this is, after all, the biggest and most successful club in the country, and we have an additional responsibility in our operations. This applies both to the club and to the multitude of fans who hold the purple color dear to their hearts. Until we make a decision on further procedures, we cannot comment on individual discussions or talk about potential offers,” said the business director of the Štajerska giant, Bojan Ban, to Večer.
