Terzic Returns to Serie A
Frosinone have completed the permanent signing of Serbian left-back Aleksa Terzic from RB Salzburg for a reported fee of €2.5 million. The newly-promoted Serie A club continue their ambitious recruitment drive as they prepare for their return to the top flight following a single season away.
The Canarini earned automatic promotion by finishing second in Serie B last term, trailing champions Venezia. Head coach Massimiliano Alvini has retained his position after successfully guiding the club back to the top tier, and the club are backing him with significant squad investment.
Defensive Reinforcement
Terzic arrives with valuable experience of Italian football. The Serbia international, who will turn 27 next week, first joined Fiorentina in 2019 and subsequently gained further Serie A exposure during a loan spell with Empoli. His move to RB Salzburg in the summer of 2023 cost the Austrian champions approximately €5.65 million, meaning Salzburg have accepted a substantial financial loss on the defender just twelve months later.
Despite injury setbacks, Terzic contributed three goals and registered 12 assists across 87 competitive appearances for Salzburg. However, recurring muscular problems have hampered his progress in recent seasons, raising questions about his durability for the demanding Serie A calendar.
Busy Transfer Window
The left-back joins an extensive list of summer arrivals. Frosinone have also secured Romano Schmid, Florian Grillitsch, Luis Hasa, Alessio Zerbin, Ben Lhassine Kone, Kevin Akpoguma, Patrizio Masini, Sebastiano Desplanches, Anouar El Azzouzi and Wisdom Amey as Alvini builds a competitive squad capable of avoiding an immediate return to Serie B.
Terzic will provide competition on the left flank as Frosinone aim to establish themselves in the top tier.
