In some of the biggest European leagues, the winter transfer window has already closed, but that doesn’t mean the market activity has completely frozen. In many countries, clubs can still make deals, including in Slovenia, where the winter “mercato” will last for another good 10 days. During this time, there could be new changes in Maribor, where several young players are attracting interest from other clubs. As revealed by Marko Šuler, the sporting director of Maribor, the players on the radar are primarily Tine Čuk, Marcel Lorber, Mark Strajnar, and Alen Dizdarević.
Šuler mentioned Čuk and Lorber in an interview with Večer when asked if there could be any personnel moves at Ljudski vrt before the start of the second half of the 2023/24 season.

Looking for a new solution for Castr
“We have five players in the central defender position, which is too many. We are looking for a new solution for Eric Castr. Jan Repas, Marin Laušić, Sven Šoštarić Karić, and Max Watson are interesting for sale. Also, for the young players, Tine Čuk and Marcel Lorber. The transfer window is closing in the top leagues, but for Maribor, those leagues are not the most important. However, there are still open leagues looking for players here, and that’s where the action begins,” emphasized Marko Šuler.
Korošec then answered the question of when Maribor can expect another million-dollar transfer and who could be involved: “I don’t know. There could be several. Younger players are competing for such transfers. There is interest in Alen Dizdarević, Tine Čuk, Marcel Lorber, Mark Strajnar… Jan Repas could be close to that amount as he is in contention for the national team. We’ll see.”
