Partizan's potential loss of Demba Seka increases the club's need to find a suitable winger during the transfer window, as previously reported. Sivester Džasper from Pančevo's Železničar has been a primary target for the upcoming season, but another potential solution could be Ibrahim Zubairu (21), a player Partizan already possesses. The Gambian winger's loan spell with Turkish side Çorum is coming to an end, and the club will not be exercising the buy option in his contract. Zubairu will return to the Belgrade team in June and will have the opportunity to prove himself in the pre-season training.

Turkish club Çorum paid Partizan 200,000 euros for the loan of Zubairu, with a clause allowing them to buy him for 2 million euros if they achieved an elite league status or if he played at least 50% of the games in the second half of the season. Since neither of these conditions was met, Zubairu will return to Serbia, which could be a positive development for Partizan. Before his injury last year, he was a key player for the club, and it was unclear why he was sent on loan when the team was struggling with its wingers.

Zubairu, who Partizan paid 500,000 euros to Jedinstvo Uba for last summer, will return to Belgrade and compete for a spot in the team. His performance during pre-season will determine if he has improved his form and can help Partizan in the upcoming European qualifiers and the next season.

During his short spell in Turkey, Zubairu did not make a significant impact, playing in only three matches for a total of 19 minutes, mostly as a substitute. However, due to his young age, his market value remains significant, and Partizan hopes he can return to his former form and benefit the team.
