Maribor has so far strengthened with two footballers, and newcomer might be Adam Rasheed, a 17-year-old defender born in Denmark. The defender, who represents Iraq at the international level, last played in Italy for Torino and is currently on trial in Maribor. However, it is uncertain if he will stay, as the sporting director of the Purples, Marko Šuler, has candidly admitted that the player is not currently at the level needed to help the Štajers.

“The agreement was for him to be with us this week. We’ll see what opportunities arise. He shows potential, but for now, he is not at Maribor’s level. This does not mean that there isn’t another option, such as a loan or developing through another club. We will think it over and decide. We also have Max Bilač here. Our basic idea is to develop local players,” Marko Šuler made it clear in an interview with Večer that in such cases, he would prefer to look at their own youth academy. This makes sense, as Maribor is the champion in the under-19 category, and there are quite a few highly promising lads in their academy.
