Jan Mlakar (born 23 October 1998) is a Slovenian footballer who plays as a forward for Hajduk Split.[1]

Club career

Early career

Born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Mlakar started playing football at his hometown club Alfa, before moving to Domžale.[2] In early 2015, at the age of 16, Mlakar was transferred to the Italian Serie A side Fiorentina for a reported fee of €1 million.[2] He captained Fiorentina's under-19 side and was also the team's top goalscorer in the 2016–17 season.[3] He made his professional senior debut on 30 April 2017 in a league match against Palermo, replacing his fellow countryman Josip Iličić in the 70th minute.[4] For the 2017–18 season, he was loaned to the Serie B side Venezia, where he made three league appearances.[1]

In January 2018, Mlakar returned to Slovenia and joined Maribor, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract.[5]

Brighton & Hove Albion

In January 2019, Mlakar signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Brighton & Hove Albion. He was immediately loaned back to Maribor until the end of the season.[6] With the team, he won his first senior trophy as Maribor were crowned champions during the 2018–19 season.[7] Overall, Mlakar scored 17 goals for Maribor in 44 appearances over a span of two seasons.[7]

Queens Park Rangers (loan)

Upon return, he was loaned out again on 24 July 2019 to the Championship side Queens Park Rangers in a one-year deal.[8] Mlakar made his debut for The R's on 13 August 2019 in the first round of the EFL Cup against Bristol City, where he came on as a substitute. The game finished 3–3 with QPR winning 5–4 on penalties.[9] His first start also came in the EFL Cup where he played the full match in the 2–0 home defeat against Portsmouth.[10] He made his league debut coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 away win over Sheffield Wednesday on 31 August 2019.[11]

Wigan Athletic (loan)

After being recalled by Brighton from QPR in January 2020, he joined another Championship side, Wigan Athletic, on loan until the end of the season.[12][13] On 4 July 2020, Mlakar made his debut for the Latics, coming on as a substitute away at Brentford in a 3–0 defeat.[14]

Maribor (loan)

On 14 August 2020, Brighton have sent Mlakar on another loan to the Slovenian PrvaLiga side Maribor until the end of the 2020–21 season.[15] He scored his first goal on his return to Slovenia in his second appearance on 12 September in a 4–1 home victory over Bravo after coming on as a substitute.[16]

Hajduk Split

On 1 July 2021, Mlakar signed a four-year contract with Croatian club Hajduk Split.[17] On 17 July, he made his debut in a Croatian First League match against Lokomotiva Zagreb. During the match, he scored both Hajduk's goals in an eventual 2–2 draw.[18]

International career

Mlakar was capped for Slovenia at all youth levels from under-15 to under-21.[19] He was the top goalscorer of the qualifications for the 2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, with eight goals.[2] In June 2019, Mlakar was included in the senior squad for the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying match against Latvia,[20] however, he was an unused substitution.[21]

As the captain of the under-21 team, he led the player's rebellion against the manager Primož Gliha in October 2020 due to his alleged inappropriate behavior towards players.[22][23] As a result, Gliha was sacked by the Football Association of Slovenia, and Mlakar was not included in the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship squad by the new manager Milenko Ačimovič.[24][25]

Mlakar was part of the senior squad for friendlies away to North Macedonia and at home against Gibraltar in June 2021.[26] He debuted against the former on 1 June 2021, starting the match and playing for 79 minutes in an eventual 1–1 draw.[27] He also started the game at home against Gibraltar on 4 June, where he scored his first senior international goal, putting his nation 4–0 ahead in an eventual 6–0 win.[28]
