Marko Šuler finds new attacking power in … Luxembourg! Differdang’s robust Erico Castro on Maribor’s doorstep
Despite the new rule of the Football Association of Slovenia, which will make clubs rely more on domestic players in the future, Olimpija and
Maribor
are competing in this transfer window to see who can bring in the most foreigners. The Ljubljana team has already added eight players to the payroll and the Styrians are expected to bring in a seventh one soon. Eko Castro, the two-time Angola international who we have already seen under Calvary, is on the verge of a transfer to the Violets, according to Ekipa24.
Erico Castro played for Luxembourg club Differdange in the Conference League Qualifiers and played well against Maribor. He scored two goals in two games, which was apparently enough for the sporting director of the Štajerska giant Marko Šuler to take notice of the robust striker. The talks are said to be ongoing and, according to signals from the Styrian part of the country, have more often than not borne fruit. The 30-year-old Portuguese-born forward has also already started following Maribor on Instagram, which – clearly – makes the rumours even louder.
The experienced footballer arrived in Luxembourg last summer, having spent most of his career in Portugal, where he played for Casa Pio, the club from which Diogo Pinto joined Olimpija a few days ago. Erico Castro also played for a year in Angola, where he has his roots, wearing the jersey of Petro Luanda.
