The club may have to let the player go to help with the financial parameters around him, but now he is definitely an added bonus. He is also experienced.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s 26 years old so they signed him on his prime. He made over 50 appearances for Slovenia, where he debuted as a teenager.
