36-year-old Serbian forward Dušan Tadić is about to embark on a new La Liga journey – according to media reports, negotiations between the former Fenerbahçe star and Atlético Madrid are in their final stages, with the two parties just one step away from signing a contract.
From Southampton to Ajax, Tadić’s career has never lacked standout moments. After moving to Fenerbahçe in 2023, he remained the team’s "linchpin" under José Mourinho: over two years, he made 109 appearances, contributing 29 goals and 35 assists, proving with his all-round performances at both ends of the pitch that he still has plenty to offer despite his age. For the Serbian national team, he is also a legend in their history, scoring 23 goals in 111 appearances and remaining an indispensable core player.
Now, this veteran with a glittering resume is set to step onto the La Liga stage for the first time. Atlético’s pursuit of him is finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel, and once the signing is confirmed, Tadić will, at the "advanced age" of 36, continue his legendary story at the Wanda Metropolitano.
