If there’s no unexpected twist, Martin Turk will continue his career at home. And not just anywhere, but at the best club in the country. Celje has been searching for a new goalkeeper for quite some time. There were mentions of Slovenian national team member Igor Vekić… But apparently, the rumor that first circulated in Slovenian football towards the end of last year is coming true. Martin Turk was supposed to be Celje’s target already in the winter transfer window. Back then, he stayed at Parma. But after a season without a single appearance and with less promising prospects due to Parma’s promotion to Serie A, it became clear that the right moment for a change of scenery had come.
As we’ve learned, Martin Turk is more or less agreed with the club from the princely city, well-informed sources assure that all that’s left is the official confirmation of the deal. In any case, it will be interesting to see whether Celje will buy the young goalkeeper or just loan him. Well, Martin Turk only has a contract with Parma for one more year anyway…
If 20-year-old Martin Turk returns home, he will play on the Slovenian football stage for the first time since 2019. Back then, he signed for Parma, and then he also played on loan for Reggiana and Sampdoria. He made his debut in Serie A in the latter’s jersey. Despite his youth, Martin Turk, who was a member of Koper before moving to Italy, can also boast of several call-ups to the Slovenian national team, currently serving as the first-choice goalkeeper for the U21 selection.
