Germanijak reports that Shkendija has announced Jovan Manev is a new player for the club, joining from the Croatian top-tier club Rijeka. The management of the Tetovo club confirmed that an agreement was reached with the 25-year-old central defender, who is the latest reinforcement for Shkendija in this transfer window after he successfully completed medical examinations. In the presence of sporting director Ardian Cuculi, Manev signed a two-year contract, which commits him to the Tetovo first-division club until the summer of 2028.

North Macedonian defender Jovan Manev, 24, is set to leave Rijeka after failing to establish himself in the team. He will spend the next season on loan or may complete a permanent transfer. The name of his new club is currently a secret, but the situation is expected to be resolved within a day or two. His contract with Rijeka runs until 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €350k.
