Maribor is preparing for the second part of the season in Turkey, where a decision has already been made regarding the fate of one of the two trial players. While Etienne Beugre, a striker from the Ivory Coast, will continue training under the guidance of Ante Šimundža and is likely to become a new member of the Štajerska team, it is already clear that Luuk Kluiters will not sign with the purple team.

“He has been with us for some time, and we have gotten to know him well. He is a young guy with exceptional physical attributes, but based on current findings, he would need a lot more time to develop. He comes from a reputable football school where they cultivate a different style of play than ours. Meanwhile, Lan Vidmar is progressing well and showing promising performances, so we have given priority to our guy. Luuk Kluiters is currently not at a higher level, so we will not continue our story together, and he is leaving our training base,” said the sports director of Maribor, Marko Šuler, for the club’s website.
Regarding the African striker, Korošec added: “It is very likely that he will stay with us in the future as well; based on what we have seen so far, the prospects are good. He still needs to refine certain things, but he is a player whose profile is hard to find. He stands out with physical strength, football knowledge, and also the right mindset, as he sees Maribor as a significant challenge and an opportunity to take a step forward in his career. The desire to continue the collaboration is mutual, and I believe he could be an added value.”
