Nikola Maras, Ante Coric, Dragan Rosic or Radosav Petrovic were the four Balkans that Almería joined in August 2019. The rojiblanca technical direction likes the character of Eastern Europe, which has well rooted in Almeria sport, among other aspects, due to its rapid power of adaptation. Now, a few hours before the market closes, the Indálica entity achieves the loan from Srdjan Babic, who last year was in the ranks of FamalicaoThe Portuguese market being another fishing ground in Almería (Joao Gonçalves, who performs the functions of sports director, is a native of Portugal).
The Red Star cedes Babic, 25, to Almería for one year, the rojiblanco club keeping a purchase option for the defender, as in all loans since the arrival of the sheikh with the exception of Jorge Cuenca. The Serbian thus arrives at a UDA that has not yet paid any transfer, since the five previous incorporations arrived as free agents: Nieto, Puigmal, Curro Sánchez, Portillo and Carriço.
Babic already knows the Second Division, since he wore the Reus shirt four seasons ago Although he did not play an important role in Nacho González's schemes, when the Vitorian bet on Jesús Olmo and Pichu Atienza. The Serbian played eleven league games (ten of them as a starter), scoring against Córdoba, and one for the Cup. It was Real Sociedad who opted for the services in July 2015 of a 19-year-old left-hander, paying one million euros to Vojvodina, from Serbia, for the defender born in Banja Luka, from Bosnia and Herzegovina (he has Serbian nationality).
In the subsidiary of the Basque team he was a permanent fixture, playing 31 games in Second B, thirty being from the game. The Royal Society gave it to Reus and in the winter window of 2017 to the Red Star, who acquired it in property a year later. In the European champion he did not finish settling, although he got to play four games as a starter of the 19-20 Champions League preview, having a contract in Belgrade until 2023.
After being on loan last year at Famalicao, Babic now seeks to become important in the eleven of Rubi, who already has his central left-handed, being the right, in theory, for Carriço. The Portuguese arrived in Almería on Sunday and this Monday he has undergone the corresponding medical tests, has undergone physical training on the indoor warm-up track of the Mediterranean Games Stadium and has met his new teammates, training with the group next Wednesday (this Tuesday the rojiblancos rest). A) Yes, before the market closes, Ibiza, Chumi or Martos will leave.
