Following Nikola Portner's lengthy doping ban, Champions League winners SC Magdeburg have signed Croatian international goalkeeper Matej Mandic ahead of schedule. The 23-year-old comes from Croatian serial champion RK Zagreb, signed a three-year contract until June 30, 2028 and is eligible to play immediately, the SCM announced.
"With Matej, we are getting a very talented goalkeeper who brings international experience and a hunger for titles. We already had Mandic under contract as a replacement for Sergey Hernandez after his departure in 2026 and are happy that we were able to bring the transfer forward at short notice," said Head Coach and Sporting Director Bennet Wiegert.
