Dimitar Mitov set for quick-fire Aberdeen exit as St Pauli make their move They are hoping Mitov will travel over the next 24 hours to complete a deal St Pauli have made a move for Aberdeen’s Dimitar Mitov. The German Bundesliga 2 side want to land the Bulgarian international. They have made a six-figure bid, plus add-ons, for the Dons’ Scottish Cup hero. St Pauli are confident of getting a deal done quickly. They are waiting to see if their current offer will get the deal done. They are hoping Mitov will travel over in the next 24 hours. Record Sport revealed last week that there was interest from Germany, Denmark, Austria and Cyprus. The Hamburg side want to bring in Mitov to fight it out with Ben Voll for their No. 1 position. St Pauli sources have confirmed that they are keen to get a deal done before they play Holstein Kiel on Friday evening. Aberdeen would want to make a significant profit on the six-figure deal they paid St Johnstone two years ago. The Dons have been preparing for Mitov’s departure. The 29-year-old had made it clear that he was keen on a new challenge over the summer. Mitov is in the final year of his contract, although Aberdeen hold an option to extend for another 12 months. Aberdeen have already brought in experienced German keeper Marius Muller. Muller has started every game for Stephen Robinson’s side this season. Robinson admitted he signed Muller from Wolfsburg knowing he could replace Mitov. St Pauli want to push for promotion back to the Bundesliga. He feels that this move could raise Mitov’s profile and help his cause to hold down the Bulgarian No. 1 position. Mitov has played with Aberdeen in the group stages but his crowning glory was in the 2025 Scottish Cup final, when he was the penalty shootout hero that ended the Dons 35 year wait to land the trophy.
