Zorya Luhansk have made their first move in the transfer market this offseason by signing Slovenian right-back Jan Trontel. The club announced the conclusion of a multi-year contract with the 24-year-old football player on its social networks.

Transfer sensation from "Zorya"

Jean Trontel, who previously played for the Slovenian club "Mura", became the first rookie of the Luhansk team this offseason. The contract with the Slovenian is signed for a long term, which shows the serious intentions of the club to strengthen its defense.

Trontel's impressive stats

Jean Trontel joined "Mura" a year ago, moving from "Bravo" (Ljubljana) as a free agent. Last season, he played 32 matches in the championship and the Cup, scoring two goals and three assists. Such statistics indicate his high level of play and versatility on the field.

"We are happy to welcome Zhan to our team. He has great potential and will become an important element of our defense," said the head coach of "Zori".

Replacement for Bohdan Butok

The signing of Trontel became a necessary step after the club left Bohdan Butko, who did not renew his contract with Zorya. The Slovenian defender should fill this gap and strengthen the team's defensive redoubts.

Historical context and perspective

Jan Trontel has experience playing for Slovenia's youth national teams in various age categories, which adds weight to him as a player with international experience. The transfer is estimated at 200,000 euros, which confirms the ambitions of "Zora" in the fight for high places in the Ukrainian Premier League.

"This is an important step for my career. I am ready to give all my strength to help the team reach new heights," Jean Trontel commented on his transfer.

Plans for the future

The signing of Trontel is part of the club's strategy to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season. "Zorya" plans to actively work on the transfer market in order to ensure its competitiveness in the championship and European cups.
