Union SG signs striker with meteoric rise

Summary
- Striker Mateo Biondic transferred from German Regionalliga to Belgium.
- He scored seven goals and assisted five in the first half of the season.
- His former club, SV, could receive up to 200,000 euros in transfer fees.

Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise has announced the signing of striker Mateo Biondic, marking a significant leap in the 22-year-old's burgeoning career. Biondic recently played for teams in Germany's Regionalliga Südwest, but his impressive performance with seven goals and five assists in the first half of the season has now propelled him to a top Belgian club.
This move represents a remarkable career progression for the German-Croatian forward, who previously trained with notable clubs like Hannover 96, Schalke 04, and SC Paderborn. After initially struggling to establish himself in professional football, Biondic found form in Trier, having made a free transfer move there just last summer. His success has now led to a swift transfer to Belgium within half a year.
The transfer is also expected to be financially beneficial for Biondic's previous club, SV. Reports suggest they could receive up to 200,000 euros in transfer fees for the young talent, a substantial sum considering he joined them on a free transfer only six months prior. Biondic's trajectory echoes that of national team striker Deniz Undav, who also experienced a meteoric rise after being discovered in a lower German league.
