All good things come to an end, but who knows, perhaps Martin Turk has just taken a step into even better times. The young goalkeeper from Slovenia has bid farewell to both Parma and Italy after five years. On the Apennine Peninsula, he made his debut in Serie A while on loan at Sampdoria, and he spent some time with the legendary Gianluigi Buffon at Parma. However, he didn’t get real opportunities in the prestigious province; he didn’t play a single game last season. Therefore, it’s not surprising that he has left the Ennio Tardini stadium.
The 20-year-old Slovenian youth international, who has been called up several times to the senior national team, will continue his career in Poland, where he has signed with the local club Ruch Chorzow. It’s noteworthy that the Primorje native has joined a club that will be competing in the second tier of Polish football next season after Ruch’s relegation from the Ekstraklasa. Turk has signed a contract with his new club until 2027.
“They presented me with a project that I liked. I got to know Ruch’s history. It’s a club that has won many titles, a very big club. I decided I wanted to be here, to play here and give my best. I don’t have much time to acclimatize, but I’m ready and focused on new challenges. I can’t wait for my first home game,” said the Koper native upon arriving in his new environment.
Tomasz Foszmanczyk, Ruch’s sporting director, added: “It’s not every day that we can introduce a player with experience from Serie A, especially such a young player who is also an international for his country. Martin was quickly convinced by the club’s vision and our plans for him. The biggest challenge was reaching an agreement with Parma, which took about a month. Initially, the transfer seemed unlikely, but today we are happy to have completed it.”
