Mark Zabukovnik, an important player for Celje, has drawn attention from multiple clubs such as Southampton. He has developed into a modern midfielder known for his deep play, excellent vision, and growing goal and assist potential, making him a desirable target before the transfer window closes. Unfortunately, Zabukovnik recently sustained a knee ligament injury during a match against Banik Ostrava, which is anticipated to keep him out for the remainder of the year. This injury occurred at a time when he was on the brink of significant opportunities, including a potential transfer to a larger club and a possible inclusion in the Slovenian national team for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers. Despite this setback, clubs like Rio Ave, Dinamo Zagreb, and AEK, in addition to Southampton, had expressed interest in acquiring his skills.
