Union Berlin has extended the Josip Juranovic contract early. The original working paper of the 30 -year -old right -back was valid until 2027, and the Köpenickers did not provide any information about the new term. “With Josip we continue to bind an important building block to us, which plays a central role with his experience and flexibility. So we are glad that he wants to continue our way together with us,” said Managing Director Professional football men.
Juranovic came to the Köpenickers in the winter of 2023 for 8.6 million euros as a record transfer from Celtic before Robin Gosens replaced him half a year later. Since then, the Croatian has played 62 games in which he was involved in ten goals. Half a year after his arrival, its market value reached the climax with EUR 12 million, and after a few devaluing it is EUR 4 million.
Juranovic said about the further cooperation: “Union and Berlin have now become a real home for my family and me. I have lived through the club with the club and in particular the past two seasons were very challenging. As a team, we managed to keep ourselves in the Bundesliga, so I look forward to being able to contribute to it in the future. delivery.”
