Darren Watson said that he thinks Preston North End need to release Osmajic, that this is a drastic and strong thing to say, but that they can no longer defend the player. Watson also stated that if he were Paul Heckingbottom or Stuart McCall, he would have a meeting with Peter Ridsdale and the owners to terminate Milutin Osmajic's contract and release him. The 26-year-old Montenegrin centre-forward has scored 5 goals in 15 Championship appearances this season. Osmajic, who joined Preston in September 2023, has a contract until June 2027 and a current Transfermarkt market value of €3.00m. The forward has 32 caps and 4 goals for Montenegro and has been linked with Celtic.
