RB Leipzig secures Serbian talent Maksimovic until 2030!
RB Leipzig has signed Andrija Maksimovic, a promising Serbian international. The 18-year-old is moving from the traditional first division club Red Star Belgrade to the Saxon metropolis and will sign a contract in Leipzig until 2030. This commitment could be the decisive step for his career, as he should take on a central role in the team in the medium term, as sports director Marcel Schäfer emphasizes.
Maksimovic is described by Schäfer as a technically adept midfielder who can play both in the center and on the wings. He has already made a name for himself with his excellent ball handling, excellent game overview and capable set pieces. He made his debut in the Red Star first team at the age of 16. He has also made eight appearances for the Serbian national team since October 2024.
Rise to top talent
The transfer fee for Maksimovic is estimated at 14 million euros, although no official figures were given. Despite the financial aspects, the talented player sees a “clear perspective” for his development at RB Leipzig. Schäfer highlights his qualities and describes Maksimovic as a “top talent” in his position. This is in line with RB Leipzig's strategy of retaining young and talented players in the long term in order to develop them further.
In addition, Maksimovic will not only be a new player in the team, but will also meet his national team colleague Koste Nedeljkovic, who also comes from Red Star Belgrade, in Leipzig. Such connections can help the young player to adapt more quickly to the new environment and to take on the sporting challenges.
Overall, Andrija Maksimovic's move is a clear sign of RB Leipzig's ambitions to play a leading role in German and international football in the coming years. His abilities and the positive assessment of his new club give hope for an exciting chapter in his career.
