I wouldn’t bother with Zambrano in January. Let him get back to fitness and help Maribor in the second half of their season.
It’s also unfair and hard for Acun to justify to Maribor that he’s signed them a midfielder in the summer who is banned until November and then gets loaned out to us in January. We can sign Zambrano in the summer permanently in a deal that benefits both us and Maribor.
I'd rather him get fit here and get used to Sergej and settle in. A perfect opportunity for a foreign player to get settled without being needed every game.
Allows him to learn the language too.
