Maribor successfully completed a long transfer saga: the Styrians get a footballer who was also a target of Olimpija
Ishaq Kayode Rafiu is a new member of Maribor! The transfer saga, which had been dragging on for several weeks, was interrupted on the first day of September by the Football Association of Slovenia, which officially registered the Nigerian winger for Maribor. The umbrella organisation also revealed that Rafiu has signed a contract with Maribor until May 2025.
The 21-year-old African was last a member of Rivers United, with whom he won the national title this year. With 14 goals, he was the fifth top scorer in the whole league. He can also boast one appearance for the Nigerian national team.
Olimpija was also interested in him some time ago. At one point, the Ljubljana club and the player had almost everything agreed, but in the end they changed their minds. Maribor persisted and got the player, even though his club insisted not long ago that there would be no transfer.
