Asmir Suljić was once considered one of the top footballers in the Prva liga Telemach, but fans of Olimpija had only a brief period to enjoy the talents of this technically gifted player. The winger, born in Srebrenica, BiH, played for Ljubljana for just over a year before unexpectedly leaving as a free agent. Olimpija terminated his contract early as Milan Mandarić sought ways to reduce the significant wage bill.
A few months later, Suljić expressed his desire to return to Stožice and prove himself again in the green-and-white jersey. However, his wish was not fulfilled as Olimpija chose not to take him back. “There was a possibility for me to return. I actually expressed my desire to come back. I wanted to put on the Olimpija shirt again. Throughout, I had a great and very respectful relationship with President Milan Mandarić. But some people intervened who were not in favor of this scenario. I said that I would return immediately. That I wanted to help the club again. I even told them that they didn’t have to pay me. Just let me help,” Suljić explained earlier, noting that he last played for Velež.
Regardless, Olimpija is becoming a more distant memory for the 32-year-old. He is now set to prove himself in India. Suljić has signed with Punjab, where the Slovenian striker Luka Majcen is considered a club legend. Punjab competes in the top-tier Indian league, and Suljić is not the only new member with experience in the Prva liga Telemach. Recently, Ivan Novoselec, a former defender for Koper, also signed with Punjab.
