Ante Palaversa (born 6 April 2000, age 26) is a Croatian central midfielder with Aberdeen, where he wears number 18. His career has been a fairly practical one so far, built around finding senior minutes rather than any great parade of headlines.
His most productive league spell came at Kortrijk in 2020-21, when he scored twice in nine appearances. That remains the clearest attacking return on his record, though his usual work is in the middle of the pitch rather than as a midfielder judged mainly on goals.
At Aberdeen in 2025-26, Palaversa has made 14 league appearances, along with one in the Scottish Cup and three in the Conference League. Across all competitions for the club that season, he has made 18 appearances.
His current market value is around £468,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his career reads as that of an established professional still trying to turn useful spells into a firmer place at club level.
