Born on the 28th of August 2005 in Slovenia, the twenty-year-old Arjan Malić is a central defender noteworthy for his skill and agility on the football pitch. Standing at six feet one inch (1.86m) tall and weighing eleven stone nine pounds (74kg), Malić is an imposing figure in defence. He currently represents Sturm Graz, proudly wearing the number 23 jersey.
Malić's talent is recognised globally with a current market value of approximately £1.34m, as per Transfermarkt. However, his journey started several years earlier when he commenced his professional football career.
The pivotal month of July 2023 saw Malić make his leap into the Austrian Bundesliga, signing with SV Ried. His debut season of 2023 - 2024 was impressive, comprising 29 appearances and one goal for the league matches, which marked only the beginning of his rising trajectory in football.
Within a year, in July 2024, Malić made his transfer from SV Ried to Sturm Graz for a fee of around £550k. This move saw him complete 11 first-team appearances in league matches in the 2024 - 2025 season, and up until the current 2025 - 2026 season, he has already made two first team appearances.
Beyond local battles in Austria, Malić has represented on the international stage as well. He played for Bosnia in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 with three starters, and in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 for Sturm Graz with one start and one appearance as a substitute.
Although Arjan Malić may be young, his skill, performance, and dedication have proven that he is a player to watch out for in the future.
