Vanja Drkušić, who joined the Russian champions Zenit just two days ago, has already changed clubs. The Slovenian defender has now joined the ranks of Crvena zvezda and has moved to the Serbian capital, where he will play alongside his national teammate Timi Max Elšnik until at least the end of the current season.
“Crvena zvezda wanted Vanja Drkušić and Vanja Drkušić wanted Crvena zvezda. He has experience playing for the Slovenian national team and was outstanding at the European Championship, one of the best in his team. His place is at Crvena zvezda, and with him, our defense will be even stronger. Only those who are ready to meet all the demands and bear the weight of the jersey can play for Crvena zvezda. Playing for the red and whites is not easy, as we seek players who make a difference, and Drkušić is one of them. From the very beginning and first conversations, Vanja emphasized how much he loves the star and how much he wants to come here. This is very important, as the star is a club with a lot of emotions. Vanja is aware of this, and he will bring his emotions to the field, contributing to making the star even stronger with him,” said the club’s sports director Mitar Mrkela during the official presentation.
The 24-year-old moves to Belgrade on a one-year loan, and he is visibly excited. “By signing for Crvena zvezda, I am fulfilling my childhood dreams. I am happy to be here and can’t wait to start training. I had an excellent summer, first with the national team, where we achieved great success at the Euros, which was unexpected. Then I signed with the great Zenit, and thank God they allowed me to come to Belgrade. I can’t wait to wear the star’s jersey, run out in front of a packed Marakana, and help the club qualify for the Champions League. I have, of course, been following the star, especially in Europe. I believe I will adapt quickly, as I already know many teammates, especially Timi from the national team. I have fulfilled my childhood dreams and can’t wait to step onto the field,” said Drkušić.
