Our midfield magician Marko Marin has signed a new contract with the club that will see the former Germany international stay at Rajko Mitić Stadium until the summer of 2021.
On the day he turns 30, the talented playmaker said that he is more than happy to extend his stay with the red and whites.
“It’s a great way to celebrate your birthday! I’m so happy to sign a new contract. I’m thankful to be here because this is the club I’ve supported since I was a child. I’d like to thank everyone at the club for having the faith in me and making it possible for me to sign for Zvezda. This new contract is a vote of confidence so it’s very pleasing. We continue together.”
The exciting schemer Marin joins the likes of Vujadin Savić, Filip Stojković, Milan Pavkov, Branko Jovičić, Marko Gobeljić, Milan Borjan, Dejan Joveljić and Milan Rodić in signing new contracts.
“I’ve felt at home here since day one. Teammates, fans, everyone at the club accepted me and made me feel welcome every day. It simply feels right and it’s why I decided to stay. We’ve kept many senior players so the Club wouldn’t have to make many changes to the first team twice a year – as it’s been done in the past. We’ve got the quality, we’ve got that consistency, plus we’ve added a few more players that will add something extra to the team. We work well as a unit and that is crucial if we want to qualify for Europe again.”
Marin has a message for the fans.
“You have been great to me from the start. You always supported the team and I hope you’ll continue to do so. Hopefully we will have many chances to celebrate together.”
