Martin Turk is in quite an intriguing position: despite being the third goalkeeper for the Slovenian national team and potentially eyeing a place in the Euro 2024 (much of it, of course, depends on the recovery of Matevž Vidovšek…), he is not playing for his club. The 20-year-old player was with Parma in the fall, but he didn’t play a single match for them. Neither in the league nor in the cup. Months have passed with him sitting on the reserve bench, and there seems to be no indication that his status in the “luxurious province” will change.
Between the goalposts of Parma, currently leading in the Serie B, the experienced Argentine goalkeeper Leandro Chichizola has secured his place. Hence, it’s not surprising that there are growing rumors from the Italian peninsula suggesting that Martin Turk might change clubs in the winter transfer window. The former Koper player could reportedly be of interest to Celje among others, but it’s uncertain if they would only consider a loan deal. Similarly, this appears to be Parma’s goal: to send the youngster elsewhere for just half a year, in hopes of providing regular playing time and gaining much-needed experience.
Martin Turk, who previously gained experience in the latter part of the season elsewhere (with Sampdoria), is not the only Slovenian at Parma who could change clubs in January. Italian media have been suggesting for some time that Tjaš Begić might also leave on loan for six months, with Ascoli and Spezia reportedly interested in him.
