Mura is once again eyeing the Styrian capital: The black-and-whites have ‘tagged’ a new teenager, with youth cadet Žan Petrovič being the transfer target for the Prekmurje side

Even though Maribor has been achieving excellent results in its younger selections for some time now (the youth team even played in the Youth Champions League this year), truth be told, there haven’t been many who made it all the way to the senior team and had at least a somewhat significant role there in recent years. This is one of the reasons why many young players have preferred to leave Ljudski vrt and seek their luck elsewhere in recent times. Mura has also taken advantage of the situation in Maribor, bringing quite a few talented players from the Purple club to Murska Sobota. One of them was Timotej Brkić, who is increasingly proving himself on the senior stage, and Žan Petrovič could follow in his footsteps.
Born in 2007, Žan Petrovič is currently proving himself in Maribor’s cadet team, playing in all 15 matches this autumn. He scored twice during this period. He is also a member of the Slovenian cadet national team, contributing to their progress to the second round of the European Championship qualifiers held in Serbia this year.
However, the full-back doesn’t have a professional contract with Maribor, and Mura could take advantage of this situation. As we’ve learned, the 16-year-old Žan Petrovič is seriously considering a move to the black and white side of Murska Sobota, where the club is reportedly offering the teenager something he doesn’t have in Maribor – a professional contract. And, of course, the chance for quicker progression through the younger selections up to the senior team.
