. The young Strajnar moved to the Violistas from the ranks of their first league rival Domžale, while the experienced Vrhovec returned to Ljudski vrt after his adventure in Poland. While Maribor did not pay any compensation for Vrhovec, as his contract with Gornik expired, the transfer of 19-year-old Strajnar is said to be worth around €150,000.
Maribor has signed three-year contracts with both newcomers.
“Let this presentation be a prelude to a varied and interesting event. Their arrival had been arranged for some time, we were just waiting for the final details of the transfer to be sorted out. Blaž Vrhovec returns to the club as someone you can rely on. He fills a gap in the midfield, with an important role on the pitch and in the dressing room thanks to his character qualities. It means proven quality and a very good solution in a variety of areas. After the injury to Sikoško and his long absence, we needed another solution on the left side of the defence and we need to add competition for Guerrico. Our selection is Mark Strajnar, a young Slovenian national team player, a potential for the future,” is for

Marko Šuler, Maribor’s sport director, pointed out.
The Carinthian official also revealed that it was quite easy to reach an agreement with both players, as they both wanted to move to the capital of Styria: “Despite the interest of other clubs, as with Blaž, it was a short conversation, an understanding of what our requirements were and an important message: that Mark wanted to come to Maribor. Both will start their preparations with the team, and then the next moves in the team reshaping will follow in the coming week. Three or even four more arrivals are foreseen. The focus is on the forward, the offensive-minded midfielder and the winger. Given that a departure could happen, we may also have to find a new solution in the stopper position.”
