Aberdeen · former players · Season 2026-27
Former players
Every confirmed permanent or free departure from 2019-20 onward, with the Aberdeen record, the league seasons that followed and the public evidence around the sale. A former player is not a transfer target. This is not a full all-time list: earlier departures sit outside the confirmed register.
Register from 2019-20. Post-career league seasons from API-Football; missing seasons are gaps, not zero. Cup and European provider rows are excluded from totals because some repeat league totals.

Current or last-known leagues
Current status
Exit fee basis
Fee basis comes from the transfer register. Undisclosed is never zero; a modelled range is not the club's internal valuation.
The register covers 2019-20 onward. Post-career league seasons are measured where the provider covers them; missing seasons are gaps, not zero. Cup and European provider rows are excluded from totals because some repeat league totals. Ratings are league-relative.
Register
Every covered departure
76 of 76 former players in this view. Current club is labelled last known when the provider has no current-season row. A rival badge is a club fact, not a verdict on the player.

Development pathway and exit outcomes
What happened next, without a verdict
| Exit season | Exits | Young exits | Early-career | With a fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-27 | 16 | 3 | 3 | 8 |
| 2025-26 | 18 | 2 | 3 | 8 |
| 2024-25 | 10 | 3 | 0 | 4 |
| 2023-24 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| 2022-23 | 10 | 3 | 0 | 3 |
| 2021-22 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| 2020-21 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 3 |
| 2019-20 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
The counterfactual is unobservable. A later career does not prove a sale was wrong; a fee does not prove the sale was sportingly costless. Early-career is a first-appearance proxy, not an academy classification.
These are descriptive indicators. A later career does not prove a sale was wrong, and a fee does not prove the sale was sportingly costless.
Future income
Sell-on watch
| Player | Sale | Buyer | Clause | Confidence | Subsequent move | Trigger | Implied share | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calvin Ramsay | 19 Jun 2022 | Liverpool | 17.5% | confirmed | — | not triggered | No trigger | source |
| Lewis Ferguson | 12 Jul 2022 | Bologna | 20% | reported | — | not triggered | No trigger | reported; no allowed public URL |
| Bojan Miovski | 15 Aug 2024 | Girona | Percentage undisclosed | reported | 2025-08-28 · Girona to Rangers | detected unpriced | Not computable · clause_not_evidenced, percentage, basis, subsequent_fee | reported; no allowed public URL |
Only publicly evidenced receipts are computed. Zero computed is not zero future income. The implied share is a gross amount before instalments, add-ons, agent and solidarity deductions, all of which are unknown.
Departure, after and sell-on
Sale chain
Each former player's profile carries the chain from the Aberdeen departure through the post-Aberdeen record to any evidenced sell-on trigger and receipt. A missing fee, clause input or receipt stays unknown; the chain does not infer money or call a sale good or bad.
- Calvin Ramsay · 17.5% · basis unknown · trigger not_triggered · receipt not triggered
- Lewis Ferguson · 20% · basis unknown · trigger not_triggered · receipt not triggered
- Bojan Miovski · percentage undisclosed · basis unknown · trigger detected_unpriced · receipt missing inputs (missing: clause_not_evidenced, percentage, basis, subsequent_fee)

Coverage and limits
What this record can and cannot say
The register covers confirmed business from 2019-20. Post-career league seasons are measured where API-Football covers them; a missing season is a gap, not zero. Some known players have a curated transfer identity but no API id, so they have no measured post-career record. Provider ratings are league-relative and are not compared across leagues. The page does not claim wages, add-ons, instalments, sell-on percentages or a good/bad-price verdict.
Source rows: API-Football, Confirmed transfer register, Wikipedia season records. Last provider refresh: 27 Oct 2026. Sell-on receipts computed: 0; known implied receipts: unavailable.
