At 33 years old and after nine seasons at Atlético de Madrid, Stefan Savic will leave the Spanish club and head to Trabzonspor in Turkey.
This information comes from journalist Fabrizio Romano, who reports that the experienced Montenegrin center-back, after becoming a free agent at the end of June, has agreed to a contract valid until 2027 with the third-placed team in the Turkish league.
Savic has had an extensive and distinguished career, having played for Borca and Partizan in Serbia, Manchester City in England, and Fiorentina in Italy before joining Atlético de Madrid in 2015. During his time with Atlético, Savic became a key figure in the defense, known for his strong tackling, aerial ability, and leadership on the field. He played 33 games last season for the "colchoneros," contributing significantly to their solid defensive record.
Savic's departure marks the end of an era for Atlético, as he has been an integral part of the team that won numerous titles, including La Liga and the UEFA Europa League. His experience and defensive prowess will be a valuable addition to Trabzonspor as they look to build on their strong performance in the Turkish league and compete in European competitions.
The move to Trabzonspor represents a new chapter in Savic's career, where he will bring his wealth of experience and leadership to a team eager to challenge for domestic and international honors. With a contract running until 2027, Savic's presence will be crucial in bolstering Trabzonspor's defense and mentoring younger players in the squad.
