Although Celje has well-covered goalkeeping positions, it’s also true that both the first and second goalkeepers together are already 70 years old. Both Matjaž Rozman (37) and Matko Obradović (33) are quite old, and expecting Metod Jurhar (23) to be the number one in the future, at least at this moment, isn’t realistic. Therefore, it’s not surprising news, as reported by Sportklub: Celje is on the hunt for a new goalkeeper. And not just anyone. The transfer target of the new Slovenian champion is Igor Vekić!
26-year-old Igor Vekić made the biggest impact of his career wearing the Bravo jersey, where he initially proved himself in the youth setup before making a name for himself in the senior category. Igor Vekić left Šiška in 2021 when he signed for Pacos de Ferreiro in Portugal, and after two loans, he moved to Denmark last year, joining Vejle.
In the jersey of the Danish top-flight team, Igor Vekić hasn’t played much. Since the transfer, he has only appeared in three matches. However, Matjaž Kek, the coach of the Slovenian national team, trusts him to the extent that Igor Vekić is his third choice. The goalkeeper has a contract with the Danes until 2026, but since he isn’t playing, he probably wouldn’t mind a change of scenery. Especially if he could join the ranks of the champions, where he could also play in Europe. Whether Celje succeeds or not will undoubtedly be interesting to see.
