Matej Poplatnik is on a quest for what could be a historic achievement: the forward for Bravo was the top scorer in the 2. SNL last season as a member of Ilirija and is currently the second most effective player in the Prva liga Telemach. Considering that Rui Pedro is no longer playing in Slovenia… Matej Poplatnik, therefore, has an open path to potentially secure his second consecutive goal-scoring title. It’s interesting to note that the 31-year-old was also a target for … Celje in the winter transfer window!

The leading club in the Prva liga Telemach recognized the quality in the 1992-born footballer that could benefit them in the battle for the championship. However, regardless of the interest from Celje, Matej Poplatnik had different plans.
“I can confirm Celje’s interest, but we did not enter into concrete negotiations. We were already in talks with Matej about extending his contract before this time. In the end, he decided on a long-term collaboration with us, which makes me extremely happy,” said Dejan Močnik, sports director of Bravo, to Sportklub. He added, “Matej believes in our story, and on the field, he shows his qualities and dedication to the club. I believe this collaboration is good for both parties.“
