Bojan Miovski completes Girona move as Aberdeen bank record transfer fee

Bojan Miovski has completed his transfer move to La Liga side Girona.

The North Macedonian internationalist has signed a four-year deal in Spain.

Aberdeen received a record transfer fee in the deal with the payment reportedly in the region of £6.8m.

Miovski, 25, scored 44 goals in 91 starts in an Aberdeen shirt and had waved farewell to supporters after the win over St Mirren on Sunday. 

A club statement read: "Striker Bojan Miovski has joined Girona FC for what is an Aberdeen FC club record fee.

"The 25-year-old North Macedonian international has been a revelation in Red since arriving in the Granite City two years ago from MTK Budapest, scoring 44 goals in 91 starts.

"He has now moved to the La Liga side, who finished third behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona last season and will play UEFA Champions League football in this coming campaign.

"Everyone at AFC would like to acknowledge Bojan’s contribution to the Club, thank him for it, and wish him every success in his future career."

Aberdeen chief executive Alan Burrows commented: "Bojan has been a magnificent number nine for Aberdeen and although we are clearly sad to be losing him, we’re also delighted that he has achieved such an exciting move. He deserves it, and we thank him for his significant contribution.

“The deal is also a good one for the Club and further strengthens the player trading strategy adopted and driven by Dave Cormack and the board over a number of seasons. This model means a club will plan to invest much more each season in football wages and transfer fees compared to what it brings in as income from the likes of season tickets, hospitality and retail.

“It obviously relies on deals like Bojan’s, where all the proceeds are being reinvested in our football department, and as CEO I’m indebted to our investor group for underwriting the strategy which will have its cashflow ups and downs over the seasons. We will work hard to develop this further, whilst constantly reviewing and benchmarking ourselves against similar clubs across Europe, particularly in Scandinavia, who are doing it very effectively and are regularly punching above their weight.

“Our focus remains on developing our own players through our academy whilst complimenting that with smart recruitment from across the world, with the aim of driving football success to Aberdeen FC.

“We have already added six players in this window and our recruitment department, together with the manager, continue to explore ways to strengthen the squad between now and the end of the month.”
