According to Rudy Galetti, Newcastle demonstrated a strong interest in Ognjen Ugrešić, with representatives visiting Serbia.

Officials from both Newcastle and Olympique de Marseille have contacted the agents of Ognjen Ugrešić, with an agreement anticipated to be concluded soon. Partizan has a release clause for the midfielder, born in 2006, set at €15,000,000. While the exact fee Partizan would seek is currently unknown, it is believed the club will be willing to negotiate for a lower amount, in a similar fashion to the Kostić case. Ugrešić's price was around €500,000 two years ago. Previously, PSV, Genk, and Bologna had monitored his performances without making a concrete move.
