The Serbian international, capped three times for his country, joined the Italian club in January 2026 and is under contract until 2030. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €9.00m. In August 2026, reports claimed that Dinamo Moscow offered €15 million plus bonuses for the player. Southampton was also linked with a proposal of over €10 million, and Lazio's asking price was reportedly around the €13 million they paid for him.
