They wanted him in Italy, he was a target for clubs from The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Russia… But in the end, young Žiga Repas decided to continue playing in the Prva Liga Telemach. However, not in the jersey of Domžale anymore. Half a year before the expiration of his contract, the midfielder bid farewell to the yellow family and entered into an agreement with Maribor. Žiga Repas signed a contract with the purple, where his older brother Jan Repas is already playing, until 2027.
“The impressions are fantastic; I am really happy and looking forward to the new step in my career. The importance of the club in the Slovenian space, but also in the wider region, is well known to all of us. To me, even more so because of the family connection. We know that Jan has been part of the club in recent years and has already left a certain mark. From his side, the words about Maribor were superlative, and with his advice, I believe that the adjustment will be faster. Unfortunately, I missed games for the competitive rhythm, which I couldn’t play due to circumstances, but I went through preparations, trained, and can’t wait to get back on the field,” said Žiga Repas upon signing the contract with Maribor, to the club’s official website.
The 22-year-old midfielder added upon his arrival at Ljudski vrt: “So far, we have been opponents. We haven’t played together for a long time, the last time on the courtyard as children, and I look forward to the experience in Maribor from this perspective as well. However, I also know many other players from mutual matches in the Slovenian league. A new challenge awaits me, and I am looking forward to it. I believe that the club will once again reach the top of Slovenian football, and I want to help achieve the next goals as an important part of the team.“
