ND Gorica have completed the signing of 19-year-old right winger Nura Salisu from league rivals ND Ilirija 1911 on a free transfer, with the deal officially starting on 2026-02-10 and running until 2026-06-30. The Slovenia Druga Liga side add the dual Nigeria/Slovenia prospect to their attacking options at a time when his market value is listed at €25k.
The move keeps Salisu in the Slovenian second tier, with the transition from Ilirija to Gorica confirmed as a standard free transfer between two Druga Liga clubs. There is no indication of any additional fees or performance-related clauses in the data provided, underlining a straightforward switch for a player still in the early stages of his professional career.
Salisu joins Gorica having most recently been registered with Ilirija 1911, where he was part of the squad competing in the Druga Liga. The data does not list any specific match appearances, goals, or assists for the current season, nor any detailed recent match performance, so his exact on-pitch contribution at Ilirija cannot be quantified from the information available. However, his market value progression — moving from €10k to €25k while previously listed without a club before joining Ilirija and now Gorica — reflects a player viewed as a developing asset within the Slovenian system.
Born on 29 Oct 2006, Salisu is 19 and primarily operates as an attacking right winger, preferring his right foot. His profile suggests a player suited to wide offensive roles, likely expected to provide width and one‑v‑one threat from the flank. ND Gorica, competing in the same Druga Liga as his former club, appear to be investing in youthful attacking depth, with an eye on both immediate competition and potential resale value.
Internationally, Salisu’s registration lists both Nigeria and Slovenia among his nationalities, indicating dual eligibility. The move to Gorica therefore continues his development in Slovenia rather than in Nigeria, and positions him within a European league environment at a formative stage of his career. There is no record in the data of senior national-team involvement for either country.
Prior to this transfer, Salisu had also been registered for a period without a club, during which his market value climbed to €25k according to the most recent assessments. His switch to Gorica now offers a settled club platform from which his valuation and reputation could grow further if he secures regular playing time.
While the exact contractual terms beyond the start and end dates are not disclosed, the free nature of the deal reduces financial risk for Gorica and offers Salisu an opportunity to establish himself in the Druga Liga. If he adapts quickly and translates his potential into consistent performances, this confirmed move could become a key step in shaping his professional trajectory and future opportunities in Slovenian or wider European football.
