Stefan Bukinac, a 20-year-old Serbian defender, is expected to sign a four-and-a-half-year contract with the club from Bern. After long negotiations, an agreement was reached for Vojvodina to receive 2,200,000 euros, with the total sum potentially increasing through performance-based bonuses. Vojvodina also secured a ten percent share of any future transfer fee for Bukinac from Young Boys. There was significant interest in the defender during the winter transfer window, including from some German Bundesliga clubs. The Swiss champion's persistence and concrete offer were decisive. Crvena zvezda had also previously shown interest in Bukinac when he was waiting for more first-team opportunities at Vojvodina, but a transfer was not completed at that time. Bukinac joined Vojvodina in January 2023 and has 6 caps for the Serbia U21 team. In the 2025/2026 Super liga Srbije season, he has made 20 appearances and provided 3 assists. His market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt at €5.00m.
