Topics covered
Ante Palaversa, a talented midfielder currently playing for Aberdeen, has had a remarkable journey in professional football. His career took a significant turn when he was signed by Manchester City in January 2019 for £6 million from Croatian club Hajduk Split. At just 18 years old, Palaversa found himself training alongside some of the biggest names in football, including Sergio Aguero and Riyad Mahrez.
Despite never making a competitive appearance for the club, his time at Manchester City under the guidance of Pep Guardiola has been pivotal in shaping his career.
During his time at Manchester City, Palaversa was immersed in a world of elite football. Training alongside world-class players provided him with invaluable experience. “The level and quality of the training and games was amazing,” Palaversa recalls.
His relationship with Guardiola was unique; the manager closely monitored his progress during loan spells at various clubs, including Hajduk Split, Oostende, and Getafe. Guardiola’s commitment to his development was evident as he would personally call Palaversa after each game to discuss his performance, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement.
After three years at Manchester City, Palaversa made the decision to join French club Troyes in 2022. However, his journey did not end there. This summer, Aberdeen’s manager Jimmy Thelin secured Palaversa on a one-year deal, with an option to extend his contract for two more years. Since joining the Dons, Palaversa has made a significant impact, scoring crucial goals, including a dramatic late winner against Hearts. His performances have drawn comparisons to former stars, with Dundee United defender Vicko Sevelj likening him to Paul Pogba, a testament to his growing reputation in Scottish football.
Despite the challenges he faced at Manchester City, Palaversa remains optimistic about his future in football. He has not given up on his dream of playing in the English Premier League. His experiences training with top-tier players and learning from Guardiola have equipped him with the skills necessary to succeed. Palaversa’s journey is a reminder of the importance of perseverance and the impact of mentorship in professional sports.
