On Tuesday, we announced that Sven Šoštarič Karič would be leaving Maribor and signing with Pari in Russia. On Wednesday, the club officially confirmed the departure of the defensive player. Marko Šuler, the sporting director of the violet team, explained that Maribor had intended to keep the defender with a new contract, but Sven Šoštarič Karič expressed a desire to take a different step in his career.
“We had several discussions in recent months with the intention of continuing our shared story, but Sven’s desire was to move forward and seek a new challenge. Given his good performances, there was considerable interest, and it would have been pointless to keep an unhappy player in the long term,” Marko Šuler told the club’s website.
The sporting director of Maribor added about the player, who will join his compatriot Luka Vešner Tičić, a former member of Koper, in Nizhny Novgorod: “Sven has always been an example in terms of his play and professional approach. He fulfilled all his obligations to the fullest. We respect such an attitude in Maribor, so we wanted to support his wish and facilitate the transfer. Given the offer he received, it was not our intention to hinder or prevent him from moving to a demanding, high-quality league. Although Sven is leaving us, we were prepared for this scenario and Luka Krajnc has already joined us. We wish Sven the best of luck in his new challenge and express our deep gratitude for his contributions during our time together. Never say never; perhaps our football paths will cross again in the future.”
