Sweden justified their tag as favorites in their opening match of the World Cup, brushing Tunisia aside with a 5-1 victory. Despite the heavy defeat, Maribor defender Omar Rekik featured for the losing side and earned the second-highest rating in his team—a 7.1.
Even though Tunisia conceded five goals, Rekik received a positive evaluation. His recent performances, including his displays in friendly and warm-up matches, have provided much-needed positive feedback for the Tunisian national team.
Rekik even got himself on the scoresheet in yesterday's clash against Sweden! This was his first international goal in what was his seventh cap for his country. The 24-year-old has once again put himself in the shop window, and it is no surprise that transfer rumors regarding interest from foreign clubs are multiplying rapidly. Anderlecht, Slavia Prague, and several other sides are keen to wrap up a deal with Maribor quickly, fully aware that the player's price tag could skyrocket during the World Cup.
According to the latest market values on Transfermarkt, Rekik is valued at just €500,000, but it is crystal clear that he is already worth significantly more at this moment. If Rekik maintains this level of performance and continues to develop, Maribor's investor Acun Ilicali can certainly look forward to a million-euro transfer!
