Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Milan Aleksic, subject to international clearance.
The 19-year-old arrives from FK Radnicki 1923 for an undisclosed fee, signing a four-year contract at the Stadium of Light with a Club option of an additional year.
In addition to three goal contributions this season, Aleksic scored two goals and assisted seven times in 16 Serbian League starts last campaign.
Kristjaan Speakman added: “Milan is an incredibly talented young player, who is on the fringe of national team selection. We appreciate his creativity and versatility but understand that we’ll need to be patient as he adapts to a new country and a new Club. Although we will not rush his involvement, his progress to date and talent means that we firmly believe he can become an important player for Sunderland in the future. Attracting a talent like Milan underlines our progress as a Club and our continued track record in nurturing talent in an elite environment, which is a testament to our staff behind the scenes at the Academy of Light.”
The midfielder started his career with FK Partizan, representing the Serbian side until 2023 when he joined FK Radnicki 1923.
Aleksic’s breakout season followed, and his form has continued into the new campaign.
The midfielder scored in both legs of the Red Devils’ UEFA Europa League qualifiers against Montenegrin side FK Mornar Bar.
Capped earlier this year by Serbia at Under-19 level, Aleksic also recently captained FK Radnicki 1923 in the Super liga Srbije.
