VfL Bochum is now focusing on its central defense, which is considered a key area to strengthen, after making signings for its offense and midfield. One of the players the club is considering is 18-year-old Serbian centre-back Ahmed Hadzimujovic. The 1.90-meter-tall player currently plays for Novi Pazar in Serbia. A transfer is currently considered unlikely because a fee would be required and, reportedly, several clubs are interested in him. Hadzimujovic's contract runs until June 30, 2027, and his current market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt. He has made 8 appearances for the Serbia U19 national team and played in 27 matches in the Super liga Srbije during the 25/26 season.
