Radnički Kragujevac are pursuing Crystal Palace striker Ademola Ola-Adebomi in a potential breakthrough transfer ahead of their Conference League campaign.
FK Radnički 1923 from Kragujevac is closing in on what could become one of the most eye-catching transfers of the Serbian summer window. According to Fabrizio Romano, the club is pursuing Ademola Ola-Adebomi, a 21-year-old striker currently under contract with Crystal Palace.
Ola-Adebomi, a 195 cm tall left-footed forward of Nigerian descent, is capable of playing across the front line. He spent the first half of last season on loan at Belgian club Beveren, but struggled to make an impact with no goals in eight appearances. However, he found his form upon returning to London, scoring 12 goals and providing 1 assist in 13 matches for Palace’s U21 side.
The interest in Ola-Adebomi is not exclusive to Radnički—Portuguese club Santa Clara is also reportedly in the race. Still, the Serbian outfit sees this as a priority signing ahead of their UEFA Conference League qualifiers.
Ola-Adebomi’s market value is estimated at around €300,000, according to Transfermarkt, a figure Radnički may struggle to pay outright. However, the club is exploring a structured deal, possibly including a future resale percentage. Contacts with the player’s agents have already taken place, though a formal offer has not yet been submitted.
Ola-Adebomi is under contract with Crystal Palace until summer 2026, and the Premier League club appears willing to sell, aiming to secure a return on their youth investment. Radnički coach Feđa Dudić is eager to bolster the attacking line with a physically imposing forward and sees Ola-Adebomi as an ideal profile for the club’s ambitions in Europe.
A resolution to the negotiations is expected in the coming days.
