Damjan Gajser, the coach of Beltinci, who are fighting for the top spot in the 2nd Slovenian League, caused quite a stir with a statement in which he was highly critical of Mura, especially of their sports director, Robert Koren. Gajser accused Koren of being unprofessional and disrespectful, referring to the transfer of Robert Čakš, who switched from Beltinci to Murska Sobota on the last day of the winter transfer window.

Now, there has been a response from the Fazanerija, where they have issued a rather lengthy public statement in response to Gajser’s words. The black-and-whites do not wish to engage in quarrels with their Prekmurje rivals, with whom they have been cooperating well for some time. Additionally, the Mura management revealed that they did indeed pay both a transfer fee and promised a percentage of the next sale to Beltinci in exchange for the towering striker, even though they were not obliged to do so.

Public statement by NŠ Mura:

We have had a good cooperation established with Beltinci for several years now, which, in our opinion, has been beneficial for both clubs and the wider football region. When we began our collaboration, the goal was to assist Beltinci with promising players who needed some more time to break into the first team at NŠ Mura. Therefore, it seemed sensible to give them an opportunity to enhance their skills and gain experience in the second league, where they could get the necessary playing time and acquire valuable on-field experience. At the same time, they represent added value for the second league club.

Furthermore, at NŠ Mura, we are attentive to players who stand out in Beltinci and could potentially add value to our team. We have also been closely monitoring the development of players loaned from Mura to Beltinci. One such example is Tilen Ščernjavič, who, with good performances in Beltinci, earned an opportunity in Mura’s first team and is a player we seriously count on in the future.

Over the years, we have loaned more than fifteen players to Beltinci and covered the costs of their salaries. Beltinci received players who successfully represented their colors. At the same time, in the NŠ Mura camp, we are well aware and emphasize that Beltinci is the right environment for the development of players who can then take a step forward in their careers. In recent years, dozens of players have moved from Mura to Beltinci in younger age categories, and it is also worth noting that several promising players from Beltinci have moved to Mura.

Regarding the last transfer window, besides players in key positions, NŠ Mura primarily sought new strength in attack. All of us involved in football are well aware of the dynamics and specifics of the transfer window, and the fact that changes often occur even in the final days. Our intention was certainly not to undermine the club with which we have been successfully cooperating for many years. We had been monitoring Robert Čakš for some time. However, circumstances led to him joining us on the last day of the transfer window. We certainly do not want this transfer to spoil the good cooperation between the clubs, which has actually been beneficial to both parties. Both sides involved reached an agreement regarding Robert Čakš’s transfer, which was acceptable. We are confident that the agreement has not negatively affected the relationships established between Mura and Beltinci.

Finally, precisely because of the good cooperation, Beltinci were entitled to receive a certain compensation for the transfer, even though, due to his status, Čakš could have transferred to NŠ Mura without any compensation. It is also worth mentioning that Beltinci will receive a portion of the transfer fee if Čakš is sold from Mura to another club. For these reasons, we believe that this cooperation will continue to be at the same level as before and we wish to further enhance it in the future, as we realize that there are many opportunities for progress.
