Benjamin Verbič is in a position that no one wants to be in. It is true that he is a member of a giant, and it is true that he has signed a very lucrative contract with them, but it is also true that he is not playing. And he is not even close to being able to “”sniff the grass”” at all. In the new season, he has played exactly one minute. And that was in the month of July… Since then, he has not been seen in the lineup of Panathinaikos. However, the contract is valid and will remain valid for another year, unless Benjamin Verbič terminates it early.
Such a scenario is currently being loudly mentioned by the media in Greece, which claim that Benjamin Verbič will definitely part ways with Athens soon. He is reportedly negotiating with the club’s management for an early termination of the cooperation, which, given his current status, would not be surprising at all. It has certainly become clear to Benjamin Verbič that he must do something, especially after the announcement of this time’s Kek’s list of players for the start of the nations league, where there was no place for the 30-year-old.
If the former player of Kobenhavn, Dinamo Kyiv, and Legia really terminates his contract with the green-whites from the Greek capital, he will of course have completely free hands in searching for a new employer. As such, he could immediately become interesting to many clubs. Perhaps even Celje, which is looking for reinforcements for the conference league and has already signed Svit Sešlar?
Well, Benjamin Verbič recently made it clear: if he ever returns to Slovenia, Celje, his former club, will be the only option. “If I were to end my career in Slovenia, I would only do it in Celje,” Benjamin Verbič told Nogomania not long ago. Could this be a signal for Valerij Kolotil and his colleagues from the management of the Slovenian champion? Let’s wait and see.
