Recruitment priorities — the ten strongest possibilities

Ranked by tactical impact × registration value × cost × resale potential, for Red Star specifically.

1Dejan Zukić AM

Best player in the league, Serbian (zero slot cost), proven Zvezda-tormentor. Even at €4m+ he transforms the creation profile.

2Ognjen Mimović RB

Fills the squad's one severe hole with a Zvezda-trained, bonus-eligible right-back — registration value as big as the football value.

3Uroš Miladinović LW

22, Serbian, 4 goals from wide at €2–3m; 3–4x resale if he converts to European level.

4Vukašin Bogdanović ST

€900k MV for a top-3 league scorer — the classic Zvezda domestic buy, minimal risk.

5Hamza Redžić CB

19, 6'4", bonus-registered; the price trajectory (€300k+20% next-sale) already proves the market believes.

6Rijad Telalović CM

€500k, 18, 192cm, starting in Bosnia — the development-flip model that funds the project.

7Andrija Živković RW

Free in 2027, Serbian, UCL experience; short-term, but the zero fee pays the wage.

8Yacouba Silué ST

€800k MV joint top scorer; OFK/Debrecen won't block a ~€1m bid. Foreign slot is the only cost.

9Matija Subotić DM

18-year-old starting DM in the HNL, Croatian bonus-registered; €1.5–2m with real resale.

10Petar Sukačev LB/WB

Senior-capped 21-year-old; expensive (2029 deal) but he is the Seol-succession slot with resale.

Discarded from the original leads

Real-world reputation is not enough. These fail the cut on level, price or verifiability — revisit only if circumstances change.

Lazar Stojanović (original lead #2)

On loan at Al-Shabab with an option to buy — effectively unsignable before summer 2027.

Milot Avdyli (original lead #12)

Fine player, wrong registration: 24, foreign slot, no bonus — and the wings are already stacked.

Feta Fetai (original lead #17)

Below the required level; thin 2026/27 evidence. Monitor only.

Luka Bartolović (original lead #15)

Real and talented but 16, just signed a 3-year Lokomotiva deal with loan-back — and likely absent from FM27's launch database. Watchlist only.

Ivan Katić (original lead #14)

Borderline — keep only if the Subotić route fails; his contract data couldn't be verified.

Dušan Vuković (original lead #16)

Drop if the Slovan Liberec move completes — all June 2026 signals say it will.
