Mark Zabukovnik, an essential player for Celje, has caught the attention of several clubs, including AEK. He has developed into a modern midfielder known for his depth in play, exceptional vision, and growing ability to score and assist, which makes him a desirable candidate as the transfer window nears its end. However, Zabukovnik recently suffered a knee ligament injury during a match against Banik Ostrava, which is anticipated to keep him out of action for the remainder of the year. This injury occurred just as he was on the verge of negotiating a potential transfer, with teams such as Southampton, Rio Ave, Dinamo Zagreb, and AEK reportedly interested in acquiring his skills. Despite this unfortunate development, Zabukovnik's evolution from a traditional defensive midfielder to a contemporary playmaker continues to garner interest, although his immediate future on the field remains uncertain due to the injury.
