According to B92, Dejan Zukić stated he was contacted by the president of Vojvodina two months ago and was asked if he would return. Zukić said he would like to return but thought it would be very difficult, citing his good season and uncertainty about whether negotiations with his club were possible. As the end of the season and the start of the transfer window approached, it became apparent that Zukić would return to Vojvodina.

Laola1.at reports that Dejan Zukic is leaving Wolfsberger AC after two seasons to return to Vojvodina Novi Sad. Novi Sad is reportedly paying just under €2.5 million for Zukic, which makes him the fifth-most expensive departure in the club’s history.

Dejan Zukić has transferred to Vojvodina from Wolfsberger, the club he moved to two years ago, according to a report from B92. Vojvodina's website states that the former captain, who came through all the club's youth ranks, returns from the Austrian club two years after his departure.

Dejan Zukić, a 25-year-old Serbian attacking midfielder, is returning to Novi Sad from the Austrian club Wolfsberger. Vojvodina announced the deal on social media, although the contract has not yet been officially signed. The club published a graphic with a red and white number 10 shirt and a message confirming the captain's return. The transfer of the experienced midfielder, who came through Vojvodina's youth academy and became a leader in his first spell, was a priority for president Dragoljub Zbiljić and the sports sector. His return is considered the club's most significant move of the current transfer window, and he is expected to be a major reinforcement for Miroslav Tanjga's team for their European qualifiers against Ferencvaros. During the 2025/2026 season in the Austrian Bundesliga, Zukić recorded 7 goals and 11 assists in 31 appearances. The Serbian international has 3 caps for his country, joined Wolfsberger in July 2024 and had a contract there until June 2027. His current market value is €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
