Now, it appears the 30-year-old goalkeeper has found a new employer. According to Bild and Hamburger Morgenpost, Vasilj is set to join newly-promoted Saudi Pro League side Al-Diriyah. Following a successful medical, the Bosnia and Herzegovina international has reportedly signed a two-year contract with the Saudi club. Vasilj spent a total of five years with St. Pauli, making a total of 167 appearances. Most recently, he started all four of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s matches at the World Cup, where they were knocked out by co-hosts the United States in the round of 32.
