Aberdeen have reached an agreement with Radnicki Kragujevac for the loan transfer of Ester Sokler. The Slovenian footballer will join the Serbian club on a temporary basis for the rest of the season. This transfer is likely to mark the end of Sokler’s tenure at Pittodrie, as he will become a free agent at the season's conclusion, though Aberdeen retains an option to extend his contract by another year. Radnicki hopes Sokler will contribute more goals and assist in improving their league standing following a slow start to the season. The 26-year-old was absent from the recent defeat to Falkirk as he was resolving his future, and manager Jimmy Thelin has permitted his departure after securing Kevin Nisbet on the transfer deadline. Sokler, who transferred to Aberdeen in 2023 from Radomlje, has found it challenging to cement a primary striker role despite netting crucial goals, such as an equaliser in the Europa League play-off first-leg against FCSB. His wish to play elsewhere coincides with Radnicki's requirement for an offensive enhancement.
