29-year-old Slovenian Centre-Back Žan Žužek is expected to join Celje soon, although the deal has not yet been finalized. The potential transfer is considered surprising because Žužek is a regular player for his Turkish club, Genclerbirligi. He joined the club on August 8, 2024, and his contract is valid until June 30, 2027. Žužek has 10 caps for the Slovenia U21 team, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €700k.
