The Rothosen central defender suggested that he turned down a number of opportunities from other European clubs to exit the German League in the summer transfer window.
Hamburg SV defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Slobodan-Rajkovic-c33708 insisted that he was highly sought after from clubs all over the continent. The Bundesliga outfit rebel was removed from the playing squad after he was involved in a bust-up with team-mate
Heung-Min Son, and as a result, was relegated to train with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787 of the club.
The Serbian international is even in a tricky situation with the Under-23 side as there is a rule that does not allow a foreign player to participate in competitive matches in that format. Therefore, his career at the Imtech Arena
is in a serious jeopardy.
However, the centre-back expressed that he is apologetic for his stupid behaviour and has issued a formal apology to the team trainer Thorsten Fink. He claimed that he is extremely sorry and wants to make amends with the manager.
“I want to apologize specifically to him. I’m really very sorry,” Rajkovic was quoted as saying in an interview.
Moreover, the young star further added that he decided against leaving the German team over the summer, even though he had a number of offers lined up for his signature.
Rajkovic said that he was not adamant on departing Hamburg just yet and maintained that it had nothing to do with limited offers. He confirmed that teams from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and Holland were interested in his services.
“This is exactly the point: I did not want (to leave). That had nothing to do with the fact that there were no offers,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven and Twente player mused.
“There were clubs (interested) from Holland, Russia and Spain,” the 2010 Dutch League champion finally concluded.
The talented defender started off his career with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/OFK-Beograd-c40109 and played 16 league games for Hamburg last term, netting a goal in the campaign. Rajkovic was among the Chelsea ranks for four years but did not feature in an official
game even once, and was loaned out to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 and PSV in the process.
