Partizan’s Attack Needs Reinforcement

The black-and-white giants of FK Partizan are expanding their list of potential signings this summer. With the departure of Jovan Milošević, Sebastian Polter, and Andrej Kостић earlier this year, the striker position has become a critical priority. The club is actively pursuing Samed Baždara and has set its sights on Kwaku Karikari, a 24-year-old forward from Horsens IK.

Karikari: The Danish Target

Karikari previously played in Serbia for Jedinstvo Ub and on loan at Železničar Pančevo last season. His performances, marked by pace and a good goal sense, caught Partizan’s eye. The club recently entered negotiations with Horsens, submitting an official offer of €450,000. However, Horsens values the Ghanaian international at around €700,000, meaning Partizan must likely increase their bid to secure the deal.

Urgent Timeline and Other Targets

With preseason training starting in days, the urgency is high. Partizan currently relies on young Marko Lekić as their only striker option. The club’s transfer activities were briefly paused during their recent general assembly but have now resumed under the guidance of Danko Lazović.

Partizan is also interested in Železničar Pančevo winger Sylvester Jasper, but his price tag of €2 million is currently out of reach. Talks about re-signing Vanja Vlahović from Atalanta are considered unrealistic due to his high market value and lack of interest in returning to Serbian football. Partizan may still look for a third striker if a suitable, affordable option emerges.
