DONS boss Jimmy Calderwood’s star search took him to Bratislava at the weekend.
Calderwood was understood to be watching SK Slovan Bratislava striker Pavol Masaryk.
The hitman scored in Bratislava’s 3-0 victory over AS Trencin.
Calderwood, who has again been linked with Dunfermline duo Mark Burchill and Darren Young, needs to bolster his squad with numerous players on the way out this summer.
Striker Lee Miller, who scored the winner against Hibs, could join that long list and the Dons are planning for life without him.
Masaryk would prove to be a capable replacement who finished as the third top scorer in the league last season.
Pittodrie chief Willie Miller refused to confirm where his manager was at the weekend.
“Jimmy could have been anywhere in Europe on Saturday,†said Miller.
“We are not going to make any comment on where he was or speculate on any names.
“But we’ve been busy identifying transfer targets and will only comment once players have signed for us.â€
Meanwhile, striker Miller has dropped the biggest hint yet that he will follow Barry Nicholson out of Pittodrie.
The former Dundee United striker has been offered a new deal by the Dons by seems keen to move down south.
He said: “I will wait and see what happens, the talks are on-going.
“I am keeping an open mind. I think I have had a decent season so I just need to wait and see what comes up.â€
Miller, who has attracted interest from both Blackpool and Ipswich Town, previously had a spell with Bristol City and could opt for another crack at life in England.
He added: “The Hibs game was the first I have enjoyed for a while.
“I had not scored for a few games, so it was nice to get the winning goal.â€
