Carl Zeiss Jena: Piplica transfer? Sports director clearly rejects!

FC Carl Zeiss Jena is standing ago, but there is an interesting situation around the player Zak Paulo Piplica during the ongoing transfer period. As thueringen24.de is looking for reinforcements, but piplica's return seems to be excluded for the time being.

The 24-year-old Piplica, who had already kicked for Jena in youth, switched to Lok Leipzig in 2020 and was not fully convincing there. Last season he failed with a locomotive in the promotion relegation, which only further increased the uncertainty about his sporting future. His contract ends at the end of June, but sports director Miroslav Jovic made it clear that a transfer of the midfielder was not being planned.

The decision Jovics is firmly found: In the central midfield, the FCC is already well positioned with players like Justin Schau, Moritz Fritz and Hamza Muqaj. Even if Piplica is referred to as the "interesting player", the association sees no need to further expand the width of the squad in this position. Instead, the club focuses on a new striker and a goalkeeper, which according to Transfermarkt.de seems more sensible.

The probability that Piplica will switch to FC Carl Zeiss Jena is estimated to be below 1%. In the current discussion in particular, it turns out that the performance development of the player at Lok Leipzig cannot be ignored - his deployment times were not consistently constant, and allegations of the nepotism in the personnel policy of the association have caused additional discussions.

While PiPlica's obligation seems questionable, FC Carl Zeiss Jena will still be on everyone's lips. The football world around the club does not stop, and the platform FussballTransfers.com ensures that fans and interested parties are always informed about the latest developments.

In the coming time, it will be shown which positions of the FCC will actually increase and whether Piplica can ultimately play a role in the club's squad. However, the focus is clearly on the team's acute needs in order to be prepared for fair opportunities next season.
