Transfer Market: Serbian International Reinforces SC Braga for €8 Million

SC Braga has reached an agreement with Stuttgart for the acquisition of Jovan Milosevic. The 21-year-old Serbian forward has signed a five-year contract in a deal reportedly worth an initial eight million euros.

The news, initially reported by journalist Ben Jacobs, has been confirmed by A BOLA. Milosevic arrives to bolster Braga's attacking options, providing competition for Fran Navarro, Pau Víctor, and Jonas Wind, who is currently recovering from injury.

The young Serbian international joins Braga after a varied career across Serbia, Switzerland, and Germany. A product of Vojvodina, his hometown club in Novi Sad, Milosevic quickly drew attention for his physical presence and aerial ability. Standing at approximately 1.90 meters, he primarily operates as a central striker.

Stuttgart secured his signature in 2023 when he was just 18, paying around 1.2 million euros to Vojvodina. However, without immediate first-team opportunities at the German club due to strong competition in the attacking department, Milosevic gained experience through loan spells, first with St. Gallen in Switzerland, before returning to Serbian football to represent Partizan.

Last season, he played for Werder Bremen, making his more regular Bundesliga debut. He featured in 13 German league matches, scoring three goals and providing one assist.

Braga's new forward also made a significant impact at youth international level for Serbia. He was the top scorer at the 2022 U-17 European Championship with five goals, a campaign that saw Serbia reach the semi-finals. Milosevic isn't the only new arrival these days.

Tommy Marqués, a 19-year-old midfielder who made two appearances for Barcelona's first team, is finalizing contractual details. He is set to cost €10 million, plus an additional €2 million in bonuses. Barcelona will not retain a buy-back clause but will have a right of first refusal, meaning any future offers for the player must be communicated to the Catalan club before a potential sale can be concluded.
