Union Berlin has extended the contract of striker Andrej Ilic. The Bundesliga club announced the extension without revealing details of the new term. Since his transfer, Ilic’s market value has tripled, highlighting his importance to the team. Union finished last season in 11th place with 39 points (10W-9D-15L) and a goal difference of -14 (44:58). Their recent form shows 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses (WWDLL).
Why did Union extend Ilic’s contract?
Ilic has established himself at Union since his arrival. His market value rose from €1.5m to €4.5m, reflecting his performance and development. The striker feels comfortable with the team and values the support from fans and the club environment. The extension demonstrates the club’s confidence in his abilities.
What does this mean for Union’s attack?
With Ilic’s extension, a key attacking player remains at the club. Last season, Union scored 44 goals and conceded 58. Ilic’s presence could help stabilize the offense. The team is 50 points behind Bayern Munich and must improve in the new season.
What’s next for Ilic and Union?
Union’s 4:0 win over Augsburg (16.05.2026) showed their potential. Ilic will play a central role in improving performance. The contract extension is a sign of the club’s future ambitions.
