Former Manchester City midfielder Ante Palaversa joined the Dons on a one year deal in the Summer of 2024 from French side ES Troyes. The midfielder is formerly of Hajduk Split where he started his career, before a reported multi-million pound move to Man City led to loan spells at Oostende, Getafe and Kortrijik. Although not yet capped by the senior squad, Palaversa has represented Croatia from U14 level right up until the U21s. In January 2025, Ante signed a new two year deal at Pittodrie. Later that year, Palaversa netted one of the four penalties in the Scottish Cup Final, sending The Dons on their way to glory.
