AZ signed Kristijan Belic on Wednesday. The 22-year-old midfielder comes from FK Partizan and signs a contract in Alkmaar until the summer of 2028. The Serbian is the second winter acquisition of the Alkmaar team.
Belic is reportedly making the switch to AZ for 4 million euros. Earlier this month, the Eredivisie club strengthened itself with wing defender Gonçalo Esteves, who is rented from Sporting CP.
“I am very happy to be here,” Belic said club site. “When I saw the stadium I was speechless. It’s amazing. It’s a great club for the next step in my career and I hope to do something great here. I’m almost back to my native country now, just next door .”
Belgian-born Belic grew up in Serbia and later played for West Ham United and Olympiacos. In 2021 he switched to the Serbian Cukaricki, for which he also made his professional debut.
A year later, Belic transferred to Partizan on a free transfer, where he had his breakthrough. In eighteen league matches he scored two goals and six assists. He also played for several Serbian national youth teams.
