In an interview for TV Hajat, Adem Ljajić stated that all the stories about Partizan are just media speculations and clicks, and at this moment there is no substance to them. He said he has one more year on his contract with Sarajevo and is making his maximum effort to achieve the best possible results. Ljajić added that his goal is to win the title next season. He explained he is used to speculations over the years and is linked with a move to Partizan season after season, which he finds understandable as he was developed at Partizan and is a strong supporter of the club. However, Ljajić stated that he is currently the captain of Sarajevo and is focused solely on his club.

Adem Ljajić, a 34-year-old Serbian who was close to joining Partizan last year, is once again a target for the club as it aims to build a more competitive team. The circumstances for the creative midfielder's return are now more favorable. Ljajić had previously chosen to move to Sarajevo after a season with Novi Pazar that resulted in their qualification for Europe. However, he did not settle in Sarajevo as anticipated, and a return to Serbia this summer is considered likely. While he is still considering between Partizan and Novi Pazar, he is closer to moving to the Belgrade club. To encourage him to join, Partizan officials are offering Ljajić the opportunity to play with Stevan Jovetić, whom the club is also pursuing. The midfielder has earned 47 caps for Serbia, scoring 9 goals. In the 25/26 season, he has made 22 appearances in the Premijer Liga BiH, contributing 4 goals and 5 assists. His contract with FK Sarajevo runs until 30/06/2027, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €400k.
