Vardar and Eurofarm Pelister pursue Partizan players after club shake-up
Partizan’s leadership shake-up has put Aljosa Damjanovic and Joav Lumbroso on the radar of Vardar and Eurofarm Pelister.
Instability at Partizan following the exits of club president Miljan Zugic and coach Raul Gonzalez has opened up transfer possibilities for Macedonian handball heavyweights Vardar and Eurofarm Pelister.
According to reports, Vardar is tracking left/center back Aljosa Damjanovic, a player who has been linked previously with Zagreb. Damjanovic has struggled for regular minutes under Gonzalez this season, and a move away from Belgrade is seen as a possible fresh start.
Clubs scouting ready replacements
Vardar’s interest is framed as an effort to reinforce the squad around Ivan Cupic ahead of domestic challenges and the EHF European League campaign. No contract has been finalised yet, but the Macedonian champion is reportedly among the options being explored for Damjanovic.
Eurofarm Pelister have been connected with Israeli center back Joav Lumbroso, labelled one of Partizan’s more influential players this season. Bitola’s side is seeking creative reinforcements, and Lumbroso’s profile fits the type of player they want to add.
Pelister are not alone in tracking Lumbroso — several French clubs have also shown interest. For now, both potential moves remain speculative as clubs monitor how the situation at Partizan develops; concrete decisions could appear in the coming weeks.
