Osijek chased Slovenian defender but came up empty-handed: Žan Žužek stays in Italy, Bari rejects offer from Croatian top-flight team
Osijek recently got a new stadium and now it wants a new defender. The Croatian top-flight club tried to bring a Slovenian into its ranks, but to no avail. Osijek’s target was Žan Žužek, former member of the
Domžale
and Koper, who earns his living at Bari. The Osians sent an official offer to the Serie B club, negotiated with the Italians and finally had to concede the upper hand. Osijek offered too little and Bari, which according to our information from Italy was expecting a compensation of millions of euros, finally scrapped the idea of the Croatian international just before the end of the transfer deadline.
“Žan Žužek was targeted by Osijek. The Croatian league wanted to bring him in, but in the end it turned out that Žan was too expensive for Osijek,“, Osijek’s interest in the 26-year-old was confirmed to Planet Football by Sead Jahić, agent of the agency
FairSport
, which manages the career of the former Slovenian national team player.
Žan Žužek will stay in Bari until at least the winter transfer window. Hoping for maximum minutes, as it were. He has played 21 matches in the year he has been earning his living at the San Nicola Stadium, and has been on the job twice in the new competition year.
