Olimpija showed interest in Merveil Ndockyt and allegedly offered him a contract, but it turned out to be just a rumor as he signed with Rijeka. The Slovenian media had reported Olimpija's involvement in the race for the Congolese player, who was a key figure at Gorica since 2022. However, Rijeka officially introduced Ndockyt as their new signing at Rujevica, confirming that Olimpija did not manage to intervene in the transfer process. This transfer marks Rijeka's ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad, with Ndockyt expected to be an ideal addition to their midfield.
