Olympiakos presents Ivan Brnić, Marko Šuler stresses: ‘He is leaving in exchange for a compensation that is not a record, but not negligible’
Ivan Brnić played for
Maribor
in a European match against Fenerbahçe, and on Friday he officially became a new member of Olympiakos. The Greek giant has confirmed the arrival of the talented Croatian, and – clearly – so has Maribor. Marko Šuler, the sporting director of the Styrian pride, admitted that Maribor made good money by selling the winger. It’s not a record, but the amount is not bad. He did not disclose it, but the Greeks claim the deal is worth more than €1 million. And allegedly less than two million euros…
“We have been facing a lot of interest for some time, but we made it a condition that Ivan stays with us until the end of the European competition. We wanted to go as far as possible, even quietly to the group stage, which is always the goal of NK Maribor, but Fenerbahçe was too high a hurdle at the moment. Ivan has made a huge leap in just one year, from a successful story in the second Croatian league to an important member of our team and a high-profile transfer to a Greek giant,” is for

Marko Šuler: “Transfer to a higher rank”
Korošec, also a former Slovenian national team player, continued.Once again, the recipe has been proven: pitch, pitch and more pitch, with a lot of sacrifice and effort. Ivan showed quality, but he also followed the trends of modern football in terms of character. We thank him for everything he has done for NK Maribor in such a short time and wish him every success in his future career. It undoubtedly has the potential for bigger things. He is leaving in exchange for compensation, which is not record-breaking, but not negligible. It’s a higher tier, with lucrative bonuses. The Makoumbou case shows that this is a formula worth pursuing. Olympiacos is a club that offers the possibility of lucrative transfers as it continues to develop. I believe that Ivan’s transfer will continue the success story, and it brings us the commitment to compensate his departure properly and not to lose quality on the pitch.”
