2023 Kristijan Bistrovic 2

Fortuna has strengthened its ranks with Kristijan Bistrović. The midfielder comes on loan from CSKA Moscow, which leased the 24-year-old Croatian to US Lecce for the past six months. The commitment includes an option to buy.

"I am extremely happy to be here," newcomer Bistrović enthuses. "Fortuna came with a good and ambitious plan, I would like to be part of that. The fact that there are already two Croatians in the selection is nice. That makes it easier to adjust. I'm looking forward to meeting my new teammates and the fans. They can count on me to always give 100 percent."

The former youth international made his debut for Slavan Belupo Koprivnica before transferring to CSKA Moscow in 2018. Bistrović ended up playing nearly 100 games for the top Russian club. In recent seasons, the midfielder made his minutes on a rental basis for Kasimpasa, Karagümrürk and Lecce.
