Overview
- Union Berlin announced the contract extension for striker Andrej Ilic on Thursday, August 20, 2026, confirming he will remain at the club beyond his 2025 permanent signing.
- Ilic has been directly involved in 25 goals for Union, scoring 13 times and supplying 12 assists across 50 competitive appearances since joining on loan in 2024.
- The club quoted managing director Horst Heldt praising Ilic’s presence, finishing and team play, calling him a modern centre forward important to the squad.
- Union followed its usual practice by not revealing the new contract’s duration, and the club did not disclose any financial terms or clauses in its announcement.
- Ilic’s extension locks in a forward who developed across Serbia, Latvia, Norway and France and gives Union continuity in attack as the Bundesliga season progresses.
