The Carinthian League club ATUS Ferlach has made the transfer bombshell of the winter! With Amir Dervisevic, the Rosental club has signed a former Champions League player. The Slovenian made it to the top flight with Maribor in the 2017/18 season, where top teams such as Liverpool and Sevilla awaited - but the midfielder never made an appearance.

Duel with Gerrard
Instead, he made eight appearances in the qualifiers, making five appearances and reaching the Europa League round of 16 against Sevilla in 2014. In the Europa League qualifiers in 2018, he faced Glasgow Rangers and legend Steven Gerrard on the bench.

Against Odegaard in the Nations League
The 32-year-old also made six appearances for the national team. In 2018, he also faced stars such as Martin Odegaard (now Arsenal) in the Nations League duel with Norway. Dervisevic had been without a club since the summer of 2024, having previously played for NK Krka (2nd division/Slo) and in India's top league with East Bengal. "The contact came about through a manager. We want him to be our playmaker," said Ferlach coach Mario Verdel, who is delighted that Dervisevic has signed until the summer. The transfer window closes at midnight this Thursday.
