Nick Salihamidžić struck, Goran Boromisa replied: ‘The risk was too high, we opted for Mark Brest instead’
Young Nick Salihamidžić, a Bayern reserve team player, served up a resounding words about how his supposedly almost-agreed transfer to Olimpija. He said some harsh words about the Ljubljana club’s management, which also led to a reaction from Olimpija. Goran Boromisa, Olimpija’s sporting director, spoke on its behalf and – clearly – told a different story than Nick Salihamidzic.
“Nick Salihamidzic has a contract with FC Bayern until 30. June 2025. For our part, discussions have taken place with those responsible at FC Bayern. As a result, the transfer was agreed, but Nick Salihamidžić would have had to accept certain conditions before doing so, which he did not do. A possible transfer to Slovenia has thus fallen into the water,” said Goran Boromias for club website in his introduction.
Goran Boromisa: “Let him concentrate on football”
The official from neighbouring Croatia continued, referring to the son of the legendary Hasan Salihamidžić, who was also in Ljubljana during the negotiations :”Nick Salihamidžić hasn’t been active all year and would need some time to get up to a proper first-team level. The risk was therefore too great. Nick is a talented player and we advise him to focus on playing football and not on social media. His comments on the latter are only damaging to himself and to the people who love him.”
Goran Boromisa concluded by explaining that Olimpija preferred Mark Brest in the end: “We have to be aware that during the transfer window, Olimpija tried to acquire players who could play at European level. As Olimpija has a clear investment structure, we have decided to buy young Mark Brest at this moment. We wanted to sign one of the most promising Slovenian players, not a European player coming from a foreign country. There was no agreement from Olimpija’s side. If it existed, there would also be a contract with FC Bayern and the player himself.”
