Maribor acquired him, just as we reported a few days ago, without compensation, so on paper, they undoubtedly made a good deal. However, if Žiga Repas performs well in the purple jersey and eventually earns a transfer elsewhere, Domžale will also be satisfied. The sports director of the Styrian giant, Marko Šuler, confirmed, after the official announcement of the deal and the signing of the contract until 2027, what we have already mentioned: that Žiga Repas was free, and Maribor promised a percentage in the next sale to Domžale.

“The matters regarding his transfer have been unfolding for some time, but unfortunately, they developed in the last hours. It’s a transfer without paying compensation, with a percentage on the subsequent sale. The wish was to conclude the deal earlier, but sometimes things don’t go according to plans and desires. However, we timely acquired a very talented guy,” said Marko Šuler to the club’s official website.
The former Slovenian international regarding the transfer of the 22-year-old midfielder, who had a contract with Domžale until the end of the season, added: “Žiga is intended for the future, but at the same time, he has already proven himself in the Slovenian league and made a difference in Domžale. He will bring additional strength to the heart of the team and intensify the competition in the midfield and can provide added value in the coming period. We seized the opportunity on the market and responded. The younger Repas missed a significant part of the preparations; he will need some time to catch the rhythm of training and matches. But time is on his side; a long-term contract until 2027 has been signed, and now his task is to adapt to the new environment and successfully join the candidates for the next matches.”
