The 31-year-old said goodbye via Instagram with thanks to the club, the fans, the coaches and his teammates. The Wels native played 62 competitive games for the first division club, in which he scored twelve goals and prepared 20. The season ended on Saturday with a 2-2 draw against Zheijang in ninth place.
The eleven-time ÖFB team player left it open where things would continue. “It’s no secret: My family, he and I would like to play together one day,” said brother Robert Zulj two years ago, shortly after moving to LASK. At that time, his brother, who was 16 months younger, was also looking for a club, but decided on China. In the “kicker” interview, the current LASK captain specified his dream: He did not mean a parallel end to his career in the lower house. “That applies to the professional level – ideally here in the Bundesliga. That’s absolutely realistic. We definitely want to play together somewhere, ideally at LASK. Let’s see what the future brings.”

**Robert Žulj:** There have been so many great moments! If I had to choose, I’d say the matches where we managed to come back from behind. Those games truly showcased our resilience and team spirit. Also, connecting with the fans and celebrating together after a victory was always unforgettable.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned your desire to play alongside your brother in the future. Can you share more about that dream?
**Robert Žulj:** Yes, my brother and I have always talked about the idea of playing together one day. It’s been a dream of ours since childhood. While he chose to play in China, we both have ambitions to reunite on a professional level. Ideally, that would be in the Bundesliga, maybe even at LASK. We’ll just have to see how our paths unfold.
