Andraž Šporar (born 27 February 1994) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Super League Greece club Panathinaikos and the Slovenia national team.
Club career
In June 2012, Šporar transferred from Interblock to Olimpija Ljubljana. In the 2015–16 Slovenian PrvaLiga season, Šporar was named a team captain. During the first half of the club's season, he played 18 PrvaLiga games and scored 17 goals.
On 8 December 2015, Basel announced that Šporar had signed a four-and-a-half-year contract up until the end of June 2020. He made his league debut for Basel on 14 February 2016 in the 4–0 away win against Grasshoppers coming in as substitute in the 70th minute. Šporar injured himself during warm-up before the away match against Saint-Étienne on 18 February 2016. He had to undergo a surgery which kept him out for the rest of the 2015–16 FC Basel season, in which his team won the 2015–16 Swiss Super League championship, their seventh national title in a row.
Šporar joined the Slovak Super Liga side Slovan Bratislava in January 2018 for a reported fee of €600,000. He helped the team win the 2017–18 Slovak Cup. In the 2018–19 season, he won the Slovak title and became the Slovak league's best goalscorer, scoring 29 goals and tying the record for most goals scored in a season.
On 23 January 2020, Šporar transferred to Sporting CP on a five-year contract for a transfer fee of €6 million, making him the most expensive player in the history of the Slovak Super Liga. With bonuses, the total transfer fee may eventually rise above €7 million.
On 1 February 2021, Šporar joined Braga on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season.
In August 2021 he joined English side Middlesbrough on loan. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win against Nottingham Forest on 15 September 2021.
International career
In November 2016, Šporar received his first call-up to the senior Slovenia squad for matches against Malta and Poland. He debuted against Malta, replacing Milivoje Novaković late in the second half.
Personal life
Andraž Šporar is a son of Olimpija's former captain Miha Šporar. In the past, Šporar has revealed that it is his ambition to earn a move to Liverpool, which is his favourite club, at some stage in his career. Liverpool followed the player in 2015, but in the end there was no transfer.
