Miha Matjašec is not the only Domžale player on foreigners’ radar: Tilen Letonja, invited by Dinamo a while ago, has attracted interest in Spain
Young Slovenian footballer Tilen Letonja, who has already attracted the interest of some major European clubs due to his excellent form in recent seasons, is currently considered one of the most promising talents in Slovenian football. His footballing qualities stood out at international tournaments early in his career, where he shone as a key player.
In 2022, with Maribor, he won the prestigious international tournament Bravo Open, where he was named the best player of the tournament. With his outstanding individual performances, he caught the attention of Zagreb‘s Dinamo, who invited him to join them in the Croatian capital. Tilen Letonja played a few friendly matches for Dinamo and made a good impression, but he prioritized his education and decided that moving abroad could wait.
In the 2022/23 season, Tilen Letonja, with 29 goals and as many as 52 assists, led Maribor to the title of national champions in the U15 league. His stats solidified him as one of the most valuable players of the season. In the following season, 2023/24, he transferred to Domžale, where, as a first-year cadet, he continued his good form, scoring 10 goals and providing 21 assists.
Tilen Letonja debuted with a goal in the U19 league
In the current competitive season, Tilen Letonja, who is not only successful in front of the opponent’s goal but also has an excellent instinct for key passes to his teammates, has played 6 matches and scored 5 goals, including a goal on his debut in the youth Eon NextGen league, where he needed just 8 minutes off the bench to score against Koper. He further showcased his talent in a recent friendly match against Croatia, where he scored a goal and provided an assist after an excellent dribble.
As we have learned, his performances – much like those of Miha Matjasec, another talented member of the yellow family – have already been followed for some time by several clubs from neighboring countries, and scouts from a well-known Spanish club have attended several matches he played. Despite the interest, he is in no hurry to move abroad, as he is only 16 years old. But if he continues to perform as he has in recent seasons, he will soon have some sweet decisions to make and plenty of options for his future…
