Mura has returned from their preparations in the United States of America, and upon their return home, they have also presented their next summer signings. After an excellent second half of the season with Rogaška, Gal Kurež has earned a transfer to Fazanerija, formerly a player of Olimpija and Bravo. Additionally, Mura has brought in their first player associated with “Juncaj”. The club has signed a contract with Vasilios Zogos, a defensive player from Greece. The 24-year-old Zogos was last playing in the second Albanian league for FK Kukesi, previously also having spent time in the United States of America, where he played for the club Michigan Stars. The latter is owned by Georg Juncaj, who recently became a new business partner of Mura.
“Vasilios has already trained with Mura in the USA, where he convinced coach Anton Žlogar with his performance, who recognized qualities that Mura needs. Although he is a central defender, Vasilios also performs well in front of the opponent’s goal, having scored fourteen goals so far in his senior career. He has signed a contract with Mura until 30.6.2026,” Mura stated on their club website. The Greek, who has also played in Italy for Alessandria in his career, added upon arriving in Slovenia: “I am happy to be here. I am proud to represent both Mura and the club, as well as Murska Sobota and the city. I know how much Mura means to the people here. I have to say that I was warmly welcomed upon arrival, the city is great, and you can feel the football atmosphere. I believe I can help the team achieve its goals.”
Even 23-year-old Gal Kurež does not hide his satisfaction with continuing his career at the former Slovenian champion: “I have always enjoyed playing at Fazanerija. I know what kind of city I am coming to and I know that Mura has fans deserving of respect. The expectations in Murska Sobota are connected with striving for the highest positions, as a club like Mura deserves. I believe that I will continue to develop as a footballer at Mura, and I aim to elevate my game to a level where I might knock on the doors of the national team.“
