AEL Limassol in negotiations to sign Bosnian striker Hamza Catakovic

AEL Limassol is actively seeking to strengthen its attacking lineup during the current transfer window. The club has identified 29-year-old Bosnian striker Hamza Catakovic as a primary target. Catakovic spent the last two seasons at the Turkish club Esenler Erokspor, where he recorded 24 goals and 12 assists in 71 appearances. In the most recent season, he contributed to the team's third-place finish in the 1. Lig with 14 goals and 7 assists in 37 matches. His professional career also includes spells at Sarajevo, CSKA Sofia, and Trencin, with three appearances for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team between 2017 and 2018. Club spokesperson Nicolas Leventis confirmed that the team is focused on transfers, including the recent signing of goalkeeper Stefano Kapino. Negotiations with Catakovic are ongoing, and reports suggest both parties are close to an agreement. The club's management aims to improve performance to compete for titles or European qualification after three years of disappointing results.
