Ylber Ramadani Signs For Aberdeen

Aberdeen have confirmed the signing of Ylber Ramadani on a three-year deal, making him the first of our summer signings.

The 26-year old, born in Germany arrives from Hungarian side MTK Budapest for an undisclosed fee.

He started his footballing career with Kosovan club, Ferizaj before moving to Prishtin.  Ylber then played for Albanian clubs Drita and Partizani before a spell in the Danish Superliga with Vejle BK.

After making 10 appearances for the Albanian U21 side, Ylber gained his first cap with the senior side when he started against Norway in 2018. His first goal for his country came against Moldova in 2019 and the midfielder’s most recent cap came on Monday night in the UEFA Nations League when his side drew 1-1 with Iceland.

Jim Goodwin commented on his signing: “Ylber is an energetic, hardworking player with great versatility. He has the game intelligence to be able to play a couple of positions in the midfield area, either as a holding midfielder or as a more advanced box-to-box midfielder.

“He is a real team player who leads by example, and I’ve no doubt he will be a big favourite with the fans due to the desire and commitment he gives in every game”.
