Marko Lazetic Joins Aberdeen, Excited by Club's Energy and Ambition
Hey, have you heard about Marko Lazetic’s latest move? The 21-year-old Serbian striker has officially joined Aberdeen from AC Milan, and it’s causing quite a stir in Scottish football. Lazetic, who spent the past few years bouncing around Europe on loan, has signed a four-year deal with the Dons for an undisclosed fee. What’s really catching attention is how excited he is about the “energy and intensity” he’s experienced at the club so far.
Lazetic’s journey has been quite interesting. He made his professional debut for Red Star Belgrade at just 16 after coming through their youth ranks. AC Milan snapped him up in January 2022 for a reported £3.5 million, but he struggled to break into their first team, only making two appearances. Along the way, he had loan spells with clubs like Graficar Beograd, Rheindorf Altach in Austria, Fortuna Sittard in the Netherlands, and back home with TSC, where he scored three goals in 43 appearances last season.

When Aberdeen called, Lazetic says he knew immediately that it was a place he wanted to be. He’s been impressed by the staff’s desire to bring him in and the way everyone’s energy resonated with him. He’s confident that Aberdeen will help him grow, both as a player and as a person, and he’s excited to contribute to the club’s success. Watching footage of the fans has also given him a glimpse of the intensity at Pittodrie, and he can’t wait to celebrate goals with them.
Manager Jimmy Thelin is equally optimistic. He describes Lazetic as a player with fantastic pedigree, having competed at high levels across Europe despite his young age. Thelin acknowledges that Lazetic will need some time to reach full match sharpness, especially after a pre-season clouded by transfer uncertainty, but he believes the striker’s physical presence, technical ability, and versatility will make him a strong addition to the squad. He also thinks that Aberdeen can help unlock Lazetic’s raw potential, turning him into a potent attacking threat.
This move also highlights some clever planning on AC Milan’s part. While Lazetic has left the Rossoneri, Milan reportedly retains a significant sell-on clause of up to 50%, so any future success could still benefit the Serie A side financially. For Aberdeen, the timing is perfect, with the Dons looking to strengthen their attacking options after a couple of scoreless Premiership games to start the season. Lazetic’s arrival adds depth and excitement as Aberdeen prepares for both domestic challenges and a tough Europa League qualifier.
So, all eyes will be on Pittodrie to see how Lazetic adapts to Scottish football. Fans are buzzing to see if this young Serbian striker can finally find his rhythm and bring his raw talent to the fore. One thing’s clear: he’s ready, energized, and eager to make an impact.
