Fans get their wish: Union Berlin sign loanee on a permanent deal | OneFootball

The fans' wish has been granted: Andrej Ilic is staying with Union Berlin. The club announced this on Monday evening.

The center forward was previously on loan from OSC Lille. Especially in the second half of the season, he won the hearts of Union fans with strong performances. With seven goals, he ended up being the second-best scorer for Berlin.

"I have felt comfortable at Union from day one - on the pitch, in the club, with the fans. Even though things didn't go quite as I had hoped in the first few months, I could feel the growing trust in me and my abilities," Ilic is quoted in the Köpenick press release.

He also added: "That I was then able to contribute so well and that we won important games together makes me very happy. I am all the more pleased now to continue being part of this team and this special club."
