In football, it doesn’t take much to turn everything upside down. Žan Mauricio could tell a lot about this. The talented goalkeeper could have recently gone to 2. SNL and stood in goal for the newcomer among the second league competition Drava. He would probably have defended, but he would have been far from the public eye.
Instead, he chose Nafta, although he had to definitively sever ties with his home club Olimpija due to the transfer to Lendava. But sometimes the hardest steps forward are also the best. Žan Mauricio found an environment in Prekmurje where he feels good. But not only that. After a few good performances in Prva liga Telemach, he has already caught the attention of foreign clubs.
We have already written about the interest from the Warsaw giant Legia, but the club of the Slovenian striker Blaž Kramer is actually not the only one in Poland that has warmed up to the tall goalkeeper from Ljubljana. Even more “”enthusiastic”” is Rakow, last year’s Polish champion and former club of David Tijanić, which has pulled all the strings to try to bring Žan Mauricio on board during this transfer window.
Žan Mauricio: “Another six months, then we’ll see how to proceed”
In recent days, intense discussions have taken place, the “pressure” coming from Czestochowa was indeed significant, but in the end, the decision was made that it would be better for the player to spend at least another six months peacefully defending and developing in his home environment.
“The people from Rakow showed a great deal of interest in my services, and I must admit that it pleases me a lot. Among other things, I had a thorough phone conversation with the goalkeeper coach of Rakow, who extensively presented their vision and plans they have for me. They wanted to bring me into their ranks during this transfer window, and I must admit that the idea is interesting to me. In the end, after consulting with the club and my agent Sead Jahić, I decided that I would defend for Nafta for at least another six months, and then we’ll see how to proceed,” said the just 19-year-old Žan Mauricio, a former Slovenian youth international, who has undoubtedly received confirmation that he is doing well and that if he continues in this manner, exciting moments lie ahead in his promising football career.
