Real Zaragoza confirmed that Serbian winger Nikola Cumic, on loan from Rubin Kazan, is close to sealing his next contract with a Greek Super League club. The 27‑year‑old has received several offers and appears to favor a team other than Olympiacos, where he played in 2020.

What happened with Cumic at Zaragoza?

Cumic arrived during the January transfer window as one of six signings. His spell was short: he featured in eight matches, starting four, and logged 334 minutes. Two appearances came under Rubén Sellés against Eibar and Cultural Leonesa; the other two were in the season’s final games versus Las Palmas and Málaga, when the club was relegated. He did not score or assist, and Zaragoza now sits 22nd in Segunda División with 36 points (8W‑12D‑22L) and a –24 goal difference.

Why does the player want to go to Greece?

The winger has expressed a wish to leave Russia before his contract with Rubin Kazan expires. The Russian side agrees and is facilitating an early termination. Cumic already played in the Super League with Olympiacos, but his agent says the new offer comes from another club that promises regular minutes and a career boost. A Greek stint could help him regain visibility on the European stage.

What does his departure mean for Zaragoza?

Zaragoza, currently 22nd with 36 points and a recent form of LDLLL, needs reinforcements to halt the slide. Cumic’s exit does not impact the budget much, as the loan lacked a purchase clause. However, the loss of a right‑wing option limits manager Rubén Sellés’ tactical flexibility ahead of upcoming fixtures, the latest being a 0‑2 defeat to Málaga on 31 May.

What’s next for the footballer?

Cumic’s agent confirmed negotiations with at least two Greek clubs. An official signing is expected before the summer window closes, allowing the player to join pre‑season training in Greece. Meanwhile, the former Real Zaragoza winger remains available for Serbia’s senior national team, where he already has two caps.
