Director Šaranov stated that the sale of Stefan Pirgić was unplanned, but it was a record and very important sale for the club. He mentioned that Stefan Pirgić was projected as one of the key players for the next season. Šaranov said that the club could not refuse the offer, and he is glad for the player who will have the opportunity to continue his development in a serious football country. Šaranov also expressed regret at losing such an important player and noted the need to find adequate replacements.

According to B92, the transfer of Stefan Pirgić to Plzen resulted in a record profit of 2,800,000 euros for Železničar. The club will also receive additional money through bonuses and is entitled to 10 percent of the next sale. Pirgić departed Pančevo after two seasons, during which he made 52 appearances, scored four goals, and provided six assists. In an official statement, the club wished Pirgić success in the continuation of his career.

After an initial offer of 1.5 million euros for Stefan Pirgic was refused by Zeleznicar Pancevo, Viktoria Plzen has made a second offer of 3 million euros, according to Blic.rs. Zeleznicar Pancevo would also retain 10% of a potential future transfer. If the transfer happens, Stefan Pirgic would become the most expensive player sold by Zeleznicar Pancevo and the most expensive player bought by Viktoria Plzen.

Stefan Pirgic has reached an agreement with Viktoria Plzen and will sign a contract with the Czech club. SportKlub reports that only minor details remain before the contract is signed. Initially, Zeleznicar Pancevo refused Viktoria Plzen's offer for Pirgic, but the situation changed over the weekend. Viktoria Plzen's interest in Stefan Pirgic was reactivated and a new offer worth 1.5 million euros was sent to Zeleznicar Pancevo.
