Aberdeen’s rising star, Duk, has caught the attention of two top-ranking football leagues, signifying that the club may struggle to retain him.
The swift-footed attacker adds an unpredictable dynamic to Barry Robson’s team. Reports suggest that Duk is under surveillance by clubs from Italy’s Serie A and the Dutch Eredivisie. In addition, teams from England’s Championship league and Switzerland are also reportedly following his progress closely.
Having joined Aberdeen from the Portuguese football goliath, Benfica, the Cape Verde international has a contract that extends till the summer season of 2025. This implies that Duk has 18 months left for his current stint. Following a brilliant debut season in Scotland, where he netted 18 goals across all competitions, the current season has seen him score only five times. Another star player that Robson is keen on retaining is Bojan Miovski, with aspirations to climb the league table and aiming for European football.
The star striker has asserted that he is content with his current club and has no plans to leave, despite the swelling interest in his promising talents from competitors.
Vicente Besuijen and Or Dadia, two more talents from Aberdeen, are likely to stay put in the Granite City despite limited involvement in the top team. Dadia, currently under a season-long contract with Hapoel Be’er Sheva, is yet to catch the interest of any club. Besuijen, an attacker, has received a few enquiries but none that has appealed to both him and his club.
Rhys Williams, on the other hand, has parted ways with the club to return to Liverpool. Fans of the Dons had anticipated a performance from Williams similar to that of Leighton Clarkson’s successful run post his long-term deal in the summer. However, Williams didn’t get sufficient game time and hence opted to return.
In other news, defender Angus MacDonald’s possible move away from Aberdeen has been speculated this month. A notable interest has been generated from the MLS side, Toronto FC, and also by clubs part of the EFL League One. In the midst of all these developments, fans from Glasgow and other parts of the globe await further announcements and results of these potential negotiations.
