Filip Ugrinic

Filip Ugrinic of Valencia was born on 5 January 1999 (age 27).

Filip Ugrinic, born on 5 January 1999 (age 27), is a Swiss central midfielder currently with Valencia, where he wears the number 23 shirt. His market value is around £6m, according to Transfermarkt.

His route into regular senior football was helped by early loan football, giving him minutes before he became a more settled first-team player. The clearest step came at Luzern, where his 2021–2022 league season brought eight goals in 34 appearances – still his most productive campaign.

At Valencia, Ugrinic has remained involved rather than drifting to the edge of the squad. In 2025–2026, he has made 27 LaLiga appearances, though without a league goal, underlining his place as a regular midfield option rather than a headline attacking contributor.

His career has moved from Swiss development and productive Luzern form to an established role in Spain. He remains a current first-team presence at Valencia.

Filip Ugrinic made 27 LaLiga appearances for Valencia, starting 17 times and coming off the bench 10 times. He did not score, which points to a midfield role built more around structure and circulation than end product, while three yellow cards suggest he was not an especially high-risk defensive presence.

Ugrinic's career path has been a steady upward move: developed at Luzern, loaned to FC Emmen, re-established at Luzern, then stepped up to Young Boys before joining Valencia. The strongest scoring season in the supplied record was eight goals in 2021-22, but his later profile has looked more like a central midfielder trusted for minutes rather than regular goal contribution.
