Olimpia Satu Mare is pleased to announce that Jonathan Parker has been invited to join an Asian club for their pre-season preparations in Abu Dhabi, with the possibility of a transfer during this window. This opportunity follows an official offer extended to Olimpia after the club scouted Parker during a LIGA III match in Cluj earlier this year.
Jonathan Parker is a product of the SoccerViza PRO Player Development Center, where his talent and potential were identified and cultivated. Following his standout performances, Parker was signed by Olimpia Satu Mare, SoccerViza's owned club in Romania. Olimpia has been a key part of SoccerViza’s mission to provide a platform for overlooked and undiscovered talent to launch professional football careers.
Due to an agreement with the club, Olimpia cannot disclose its name until the official announcement is made. However, the club competes in UEFA despite being based in Asia, highlighting its unique position in international football. This prestigious team has a history of competing in UEFA tournaments such as the Champions League, showcasing its commitment to excellence and development.
Cecilia Lihv, President of Olimpia Satu Mare and CFO of SoccerViza, shared her thoughts on Parker’s next steps:
“The clubs have agreed on the transfer details, but now it’s up to Jonathan to close the deal with good performances. We believe in his talent and know he has the ability to succeed. We wish him the best as he embraces this incredible opportunity.”
Clubs from regions outside Europe that compete in UEFA benefit significantly from the European competition structure due to historical, geopolitical, and cultural ties. This alignment provides their teams and players with valuable exposure, experience, and opportunities to reach the highest levels of the sport. The club inviting Parker exemplifies these ambitions, boasting modern facilities, a strong domestic record, and a competitive presence in European tournaments.
Olimpia Head Coach and SoccerViza Director Giuseppe Funicello praised Parker’s unique qualities:
“Jonathan is so talented. He’s young and still maturing, but his level is clear. He’s a winner—a rare quality in football. He’s fearless in 1v1 situations, and when you watch him, you immediately think, ‘Who is this guy?’ His future will depend on his maturity, but we’re hopeful this deal will go through and that Jonathan will take the next step in his career.”
This exciting opportunity underscores Olimpia and SoccerViza’s mission to provide players with pathways to advance their careers and showcase their talents on larger stages. The entire Olimpia family is proud of Jonathan’s accomplishments and wishes him success as he embarks on this exciting new chapter.
