It's around that time again of the season when players switch allegiances to different clubs ahead of the new season.

KCCA FC forward Mato Rogers is one of those players involved in a standoff with his club KCCA FC with Mato insisting on making a move to Slovenia while the club thinks otherwise.

"The Mato Rogers move to Slovenia is simply not a good one in so many aspects like player development," Mujib Kasule, a director at Proline FC and a CAF instructor, told Pulse Sports.

"The league quality and economic value both for the player and KCCA FC. Several factors must be considered for a move to happen."

"But mostly, is the player going to learn and improve in this case in Slovenia? I don't think so," Kasule added.

Kasule, a former football agent, adds that what makes matters worse is that the Slovenian league is not known for anything in European football, making it difficult for any player, especially from Uganda, to succeed.

"Eastern Europe has proved to be very difficult for players; the conditions there are extremely tough, players go there and instead of improving their careers go down," Kasule lamented.

"Before you know it, they have disappeared off the game's surface, and the chances are higher for Mato to go there and continue with that trend."

"We don't know them for grooming players or having good structures; it's not a good league if someone was going to Belgium, France or Portugal, it makes sense, but not Slovenia," he added.

The Deal.

Pulse Sports reliably understands that the Slovenian side interested in signing Mato Rogers is NK Bravo, formed six years ago and is currently fourth in the league.

However, the Kasasiro boys' hierarchy hesitates to proceed with the deal.

About the Slovenian League

The Slovenian league, comprising ten clubs, is contested on a round-robin format, with each club playing each other four times on a home and away basis.

The teams are ranked according to the total sum of points, and at the end of the season, the top three teams qualify for the UEFA Champions League and Conference League qualifying rounds.

MK Maribor is the most successful side, with 16 league titles.
