Biography
Ante Budimir (Croatian pronunciation: [ǎːnte bûdimiːr]; born 22 July 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for La Liga club Osasuna. Born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he plays for the Croatia national team.
FC St. Pauli In August 2014, Budimir joined German club FC St. Pauli of the 2. Bundesliga on a four-year deal until 2018. St. Pauli had to pay a transfer fee believed to be around €900,000. In an interview on Budimir's signing, former Croatian international Jurica Vranješ described him as "tall, strong in the air, and reliable in combinations" and compared his style to Dimitar Berbatov. Budimir had a tough time at St. Pauli, scoring one goal in 20 appearances in the St. Pauli shirt.
Crotone and Sampdoria On 1 September 2015, Budimir was loaned out to Italian club Crotone for the remainder of the season. He made his Crotone debut on 7 September 2015, in a 4–0 loss to Cagliari Calcio, coming on as a 71st-minute substitute for Pietro De Giorgio. In March 2016, Crotone exercised their €1 million buyout option on the player.
