Austrian champions Sturm have brought in their third player from Slovenia to Graz, signing teenage sensation Arjan Malić following an outstanding debut season in senior football. The 18-year-old defender, originally from Jesenice but having moved to Austria at the age of eight, impressed at Ried, establishing himself as one of the most promising young talents in Austrian football. He attracted interest from several clubs, but Sturm won the battle for his signature, where he joins fellow Slovenian internationals Jon Gorenc Stanković and Tomi Horvat.
“Sturm is an excellent club for me, and I am confident that I can take the next step in my football development wearing their jersey. I am looking forward to training under Christian Ilzer and can’t wait to put on the black and white kit,” said the Slovenian youth international upon joining Sturm, signing a long-term contract with the club. He added, “When the opportunity to join Sturm, the league and cup champions, came up, I didn’t hesitate much. Sturm has shown in recent years that they are serious about nurturing young footballers.”
Andreas Schicker, Sturm’s sporting director, commented: “Arjan Malić is a young player who performed very well at Ried. He brings a lot of quality to our team, and despite his youth, he already has some experience in professional football. We are pleased that Arjan will play in Graz in the future.” According to unofficial reports, Sturm paid a transfer fee of 500,000 euros for Malić.
