Outcast Olimpija striker Mustafa Nucic played his last game more than 9 months ago: he wasn’t interested in Italy, Bravo tried in vain
When Olimpija celebrated a sweet yet insignificant European victory against Slovan in Bratislava on December 14th last year, Mustafa Nukić certainly could not have imagined that nine months later, those seven Slovak minutes would be the last he’d offer on the football pitch. Mustafa Nukić is currently a true football outcast. Olimpija sidelined him at the beginning of this year, and his status has remained unchanged to this day. The experienced forward last played 282 days ago, and when or if he’ll play again will be interesting to see.
The Ljubljana native, a fan favorite of Olimpija, will be celebrating his 34th birthday in December. Contractually tied to the green-whites until the end of the season, and with an early termination apparently out of the question, it seems quite some time will pass before Mustafa Nukić laces up his boots again. That is, of course, if he even still feels the desire to play football after all that’s happening to him now…
Despite all this, it is intriguing that in recent weeks, certain opportunities have opened up for the experienced striker to potentially cut the Gordian knot in Ljubljana. According to *Delo*, Nukić’s former club, tonight’s league opponent of Olimpija in the 1st SNL, Bravo, has shown interest. “Bravo failed during the international break in their attempt to sign Mustafa Nukić for free, who is still on Olimpija’s payroll,” wrote the central Slovenian newspaper.
But Bravo is not the only option. According to our information, Nukić also had certain possibilities opening up in neighboring Italy. Of course, not in Serie A or Serie B, but in clubs from the lower leagues, where salaries are as they are. Based on what we’ve learned, Mustafa Nukić immediately made it clear that a move to the Apennine Peninsula simply does not interest him.
