Arijan Ademi, born on 29 May 1991 (age 35), is a Macedonian central defensive midfielder now with Ujpest, where he wears the number 45 shirt.
His early career included loan football, the sort of spell that tends to strip away any academy neatness and give a midfielder a more practical education. The club that shaped the career, though, was Dinamo Zagreb. Across nine league seasons there, Ademi made 173 league appearances and scored 16 goals.
That Dinamo spell gives the career its real weight. He was not a midfielder built around glamour or excess, but he offered durability and a steady presence in the middle of the pitch. His most productive league season came in 2022-23, when he scored four times in 19 league appearances.
Ademi is now at Ujpest and has made one Nemzeti Bajnokság I appearance in 2026-27. His current market value is around £680,000, according to Transfermarkt.
It is a career defined far more by Dinamo Zagreb than by its smaller stops: a long-serving defensive midfielder, shaped early by loan football, and still active in Hungary.
