Overview
Stefan Despotovski, born 23 January 2003 in Skopje with Macedonian-Serbian citizenship, came through Partizan and Zvezda academies, played his base season at Rabotnički (40 games), passed through Sheriff Tiraspol and arrived at OFK free in January 2025 — today a €1.5M record and one of the club’s best free pickups.
2025-26: 27 games, 1,930 minutes, 1 goal, 2 assists, just 3 yellows. After 24 North Macedonia U21 caps he debuted for the senior side in June 2025 — 4 caps including a World Cup qualifier. Mostly right-back (86%) but covers centre-back and left-back. No concrete European bid reported yet — that silence is room for an early mover.

| Strengths | Development Areas |
|---|---|
| Capped at 23 + a WC-qualifier stage | Mid-band attacking output (3 contributions) |
| Three-position defensive flexibility | Value records span a wide band |
| A low-card profile | The 2027 contract — the window narrowing |
Verdict
The age-cap-flexibility trio is a real asset file; the absence of rumour noise favours an early buyer.
Holding the national shirt with 25+ games in 2026-27 closes sub-€1M scenarios fast — early contact is logical.
