Arjan Malić

Arjan Malić of Sturm Graz was born in Jesenice, Slovenia on 28 August 2005 (age 20).

Arjan Malić, born on 28 August 2005 (age 20), is a Bosnia and Herzegovina right-back with Sturm Graz. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came at SV Ried in 2023-24, when he made 29 appearances and scored once. For a young full-back, that was a useful volume of senior football rather than a line on a prospect sheet.

At Sturm Graz, he has been involved in Europe in 2026-27, making three Champions League qualifying appearances and five in the Europa League. He has also represented Bosnia and Herzegovina this season, with one World Cup appearance and five in European World Cup qualifying.

Malić’s career is still in its early senior phase: regular football at SV Ried, a step into the Sturm Graz squad, and international involvement with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The shape of it is straightforward enough for now.

Malić's career path has moved quickly: he joined SV Ried in July 2023, then moved to Sturm Graz a year later. His senior career spans 2023-24 to 2026-27, with one goal in 2023-24 and another in 2025-26. For a 20-year-old right back, the main signal is early movement into a €1.50m current valuation.

The transfer history is simple: SV Ried brought Malić in during July 2023, then Sturm Graz paid €550k for him in July 2024. A fee at that age, followed by a €1.50m market value, points to a player bought for development value as much as immediate output.
