The North Macedonian could be on the move from Girona this summer after seeing his old club lap up Hampden moment
Bojan Miovski admits Aberdeen's shock Scottish Cup Final win over Celtic was tinged with regret for him as he watched on from Spain - and he's open to a Pittodrie return.
The Dons denied Brendan Rodgers an historic Treble as Celtic boss, inflicting a first ever Scottish Cup and Hampden defeat on the Irishman as they won a tense penalty shoot-out to lift the famous old trophy for the first time in 35 years.
‌
It's almost two years since Miovski swapped the North East for Girona, but the Macedonian was watching some of his former teammates achieve what he never managed to in two goal-filled years at Pittodrie - lift silverware with a winners medal around his neck.
‌
And while he was delighted to see Jimmy Thelin's team have their day in the sun, he concedes that the fact he missed out sticks in his throat a little.
'Every player wants to win trophies, and for me, personally, I regret the fact that I did not manage to lift a trophy during my two years with Aberdeen," the striker told RG.com
"But I am really glad that they won the Scottish Cup now, and I am especially happy for my former teammates who played with me in the Scottish League Cup final back in 2023-24 that we lost. This is what football is all about — winning trophies."
However, it's not something he's completely ruled out doing in the future. Miovski bagged the Dons a mega £6million fee in August 2024 when he made the move to La Liga.
Things haven't gone so smoothly for him in Spain, with regular game time hard to come by after a slow start to his Girona career. That's led to talk of a move away, and while it may be out of Aberdeen's reach financially right now, Miovski is more than open to wearing red again at some point in the future - and he has an itch he's desperate to scratch.
‌
'My career will probably last for another 10 years, and I cannot predict the future, but I do not rule out the possibility of wearing Aberdeen's shirt again one day," he said.
"I was really appreciated within the club, and I love the club as well. I felt really good there, and if I return there one day, winning a trophy would be at the top of my list."
As for what happens this summer, that remains uncertain. Girona sees Miovski as a player who can grow with them over time, but his patience isn't limitless and the urge to play could well grow too great for him to stay put.
A move could happen this summer, but the player admits the club holds all the cards on that front for now, so is happy to wait and see.
He added: 'My primary goal is to score as many goals as possible next season and help my team achieve its targets. I signed a long-term deal last year, but I cannot predict what will happen over the summer.
Although the club considers me a project to develop and I have three years left on my contract, everything is open, and whether I will leave or stay depends on the club."
