National team defender Vanja Drkušić last week visited Football Planet, who also touched on his club status. The fact is that with excellent performances in the jersey of Sochi, he attracted the interest of numerous clubs. Red Star wanted him, Olympiacos had him on their radar, mentions of Italy, Germany, and more. Nevertheless, Vanja Drkušić stayed in the Russian Olympic city, where they are fighting for survival this season.
Sochi’s battle for survival started with a draw against Baltika, and the opening match of the new year ended 0-0. Vanja Drkušić played the full match and was once again the captain of his club. If the latter drops out of the first Russian league, it’s hard to believe that the 24-year-old will remain a Sochi player, but in any case, he will try to take a step forward in the summer. A step he openly aimed for last summer, as Vanja Drkušić revealed for Planet nogomet.
Vanja Drkušić: I wanted to leave last summer
“Regarding my club future, I have no agreement with the club. For example, I could definitely leave if we did not stay among the elite… The truth is, last summer I wanted to take a step forward in my career. It didn’t work out, but at the same time, the club keeps proving to me that they truly value me. And that’s not something simple,” admitted the former player of Bravo.
Vanja Drkušić, who will likely be one of the travelers to Euro 2024 in the summer, added: “At the beginning, it was quite ‘frustrating’ because I wanted to continue my career in European football, so to speak, and especially taste the top of it. On the other hand, I am aware that I am still quite young for a football player. I am confident that the opportunity will come. Whether it’s this summer or some other time, we’ll have to wait and see.” You can watch the entire interview with Vanja Drkušić in the video below.
