PAOK completes the signing of Ognjen Ugresic from Partizan

PAOK Thessaloniki officially announced the signing of Serbian midfielder Ognjen Ugresic from Partizan Belgrade on Saturday, August 29, 2026. The 20-year-old player arrived in Thessaloniki on Friday following the club's recent elimination from European competition by Brann, marking a significant addition to head coach Alessio Lisi’s roster. The transfer fee is reported at 6 million euros plus 2 million in potential bonuses, with Partizan retaining a 15% sell-on clause.

Ugresic, who was born in July 2006, is a product of the Partizan youth academy and served as the team's captain. He has signed a five-year contract with the Greek club, tying him to PAOK until June 30, 2031. Standing 1.88 meters tall, he has represented Serbia at both youth and senior national levels. His professional journey includes his debut for Partizan in December 2024 and his first goal against Radnicki in April 2025. This acquisition is viewed as a strategic move to bolster the team's midfield for both present needs and future development following the disappointment of an early European exit.
