Melbourne Victory have confirmed Daniel Arzani will leave the Isuzu UTE A-League Grand Finallists to join Hungarian champions Ferencvarosi TC.
Arzani will link up with the Robbie Keane-led giants on a free transfer following the conclusion of the 2024-25 season.
Since joining Victory in 2023, Arzani quickly established himself as a vital member of the squad, making 64 appearances over two seasons, with the 26-year-old scoring seven goals and supplying 12 assists as the four-time champions reached back-to-back Isuzu UTE A-League Grand Finals.

“My time at Melbourne Victory has been incredibly rewarding,” said Arzani, who has returned to the Socceroos fold during his Melbourne stint.
“The club has played a key role in my growth both on and off the pitch over the past couple of seasons, allowing me to enjoy my football and do what I do best.
“While I am excited for the next chapter, I will always be grateful for my time at Melbourne Victory and the enormous support I received from the club’s members and fans. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.”

Arzani’s move to Ferencvarosi also represents another shot at Europe for the 26-year-old, who was previously signed by Manchester City in 2018 before being loaned out to Scottish powerhouse Celtic. That is where things turned pear-shaped after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on debut.
From there, he bounced around on loan, searching for game time, confidence, and a return to form through stints in the Netherlands with FC Utrecht, Denmark via AGF Aarhus and Belgium at SK Lommel – another City Football Group (CFG) club – but the Australian was only seen in fits and starts.

“We are proud of the way Melbourne Victory has been able to kick-start Daniel’s career over the past two seasons and enabled him to re-establish himself as an exciting and entertaining talent in Australia, while also earning call ups with the Socceroos, who as we know, are now on the path to the FIFA World Cup 2026,” said Victory’s director of football John Didulica.
“We thank Daniel for the role he played in helping the club reach consecutive A-League Men’s Grand Finals and hope his upward trajectory can continue in Europe.”
