Aberdeen FC is looking to add fresh talent as the club considers new signings while potentially offloading several squad members, according to Daily Record. The club is juggling a list of potential departures and arrivals as the transfer window approaches its deadline.
Aberdeen has turned its attention to Australian international striker Kusini Yengi and winger Kenan Bilalovic. Yengi, who joined the club from Portsmouth last summer, has yet to make an impact under manager Stephen Robinson. He spent the second half of the previous season on loan at Cerezo Osaka, a spell hampered by injury, and has attracted overseas interest that the club is monitoring closely. Bilalovic, meanwhile, has had limited first-team opportunities and is linked with clubs in Sweden and Scandinavia.
The club may transfer out several squad members before the close of the transfer window. Sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel has already sold Dimitar Mitov, Kjartan Mar Kjartansson, Alexander Jensen, Topi Keskinen and Nicolas Milanovic this summer. In addition, left-back Mitchel Frame has interest from a couple of European sides and could be loaned to gain first-team experience. Younger players such as Findlay Marshall may also be loaned out to secure playing time.
Aberdeen currently sit 8th in the Premiership, 3 points behind leaders Celtic, with a record of 1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss from two games. The team has scored 2 goals and conceded 3, leaving a -1 goal difference. Their next fixture is a home match against Rangers on 2026-08-30. Key players Kristers Tobers, Kusini Yengi and Mats Knoester are currently sidelined, which could impact the squad’s depth for the upcoming derby.
Manager Stephen Robinson has brought in 13 new signings and remains keen to add more players. New signing Brad Lyons is struggling with an injury and could be out for a few weeks, adding uncertainty to the squad’s budget. Robinson is also ready to look at midfield options, with St Mirren’s Killian Phillips on the radar. Phillips’ asking price of £500,000 is a stumbling block for Aberdeen, but a pre-contract could be signed in January if the player is not sold before the window closes.
"Daily Record said, 'Aberdeen is looking to add fresh talent,'" the outlet reported, highlighting the club’s active search for reinforcements.
The transfer window will close at the end of this month, leaving Aberdeen with limited time to secure signings and decide on departures. The club’s current standing and injury list underscore the urgency of the summer transfer activity.
