One of the regulars at Leeds United under Marcelo Bielsa, it was somewhat surprising to see Ezgjan Alioski leave on a free transfer in the summer.
Long linked with Galatasaray, the North Macedonia international decided instead to head to Saudi Arabia to play for Al-Ahli Jeddah, with Patrick Van Aanholt heading to Turkey instead.
The former Leeds man, however, could be on the move again despite playing in the vast majority of his club’s game, as L’Arena, relayed by TuttoHellasVerona, explain Hellas Verona, via their director of football Tony D’Amico, are following him.
The idea here would be to ‘search for an alternative to Darko Lazovic’ following a bad injury to Gianluca Frabotta, suggesting a January move could be planned.
After all, it seems unlike that Al-Ahli will want to part ways with a player they picked up from Leeds less than six months ago, meaning a fee would have to be paid, as Alioski is contracted there until 2023.
We’ll have to wait and see, but if the prospect of returning to a European league presents itself, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the ex-Elland Road player jump at the opportunity.
