Jaka Premrl has been considered one of the most talented footballers in our country for some time now. The 16-year-old footballer scored an impressive 29 goals in 18 matches in the Under-15 league last season and was also the competition’s top scorer. Numerous foreign clubs had already been watching him back then, but Jaka Premrl ultimately decided to stay in Slovenia. True, he changed employers, but he only switched from Domžale to Maribor. Although he could have gone elsewhere. Like to Salzburg. Or Zagreb. Even AC Milan showed interest in him…
This season, Jaka Premrl is playing for Maribor’s youth team, for which he has scored 7 goals in 20 matches. He has also made his debut in the Youth Eon NextGen League. He is currently competing with the purples in the Under-17 league for the title, and it will certainly be interesting to see what happens after the season ends.
As we have learned, Jaka Premrl has been under the watchful eye of none other than Bayer from Leverkusen for some time now. The club, led by Xabi Alonso at the senior level, has surpassed itself this season by winning the German championship title for the first time in history. It can also boast an impressive unbeaten streak of 46 matches!
Jaka Premrl is, of course, not an idea for the senior team, which is experiencing the best period in its history, but for the youth setup. However, if Bayer really wants to bring him into their ranks, they will have to pay a transfer fee, which will definitely not be merely symbolic. Maribor has taken precautions in time; Jaka Premrl has a professional contract with the Styrians, valid until June 2026.
