Club statement: Nick Salihamidžić

According to media reports, it is true that NK Olimpija has been offered to sign Nick Salihamidžić. It is also true that his father Hasan Salihamidžić was in Ljubljana.

Nick Salihamidžić has a contract with FC Bayern until 30. June 2025. For our part, discussions have taken place with those responsible at FC Bayern. As a result, the transfer was agreed, but Nick Salihamidžić would have had to accept certain conditions before doing so, which he did not do. A possible transfer to Slovenia failed.

Nick Salihamidžić hasn’t been active all year and would need some time to get up to a proper first-team level. The risk was therefore too great. Nick is a talented player and we advise him to focus on playing football and not on social media. His comments are only damaging to himself and to the people who love him.

We have to be aware that during the transfer window, Olimpija tried to acquire players who could play at European level.

As Olimpija has a clear investment structure, at the time we have decided to increase the fee for young Marko Brest. We wanted to sign one of the most promising Slovenian players, not a European player coming from a foreign country.

There was no agreement from Olimpija’s side. If it existed, there would also be a contract with FC Bayern and the player himself.
