Borussia Dortmund are keeping a close eye on Red Star Belgrade's 17-year-old midfield starlet Maksimovic, according to exclusive information from Sky Sports Germany's Patrick Berger. The youngster attracted widespread attention when he became the youngest player in the history of the Serbian national team to make an appearance in a UEFA Nations League match last weekend.
Maksimovic's contract with Red Star Belgrade runs until the summer of 2027, while his transfer fee is expected to be at least €15 million. Although Dortmund are yet to make a concrete move, they are conducting a trial run for the youngster.
However, Borussia Dortmund are not the only club interested in Maksimovic. European giants such as Juventus, Manchester City and Liverpool are also understood to have expressed a keen interest in him. This means that Dortmund will face stiff competition if they want to sign the young midfield star.
Maksimovic's performances for Red Star Belgrade have caught the attention of European football and his potential is widely recognized. As a young midfielder, he possesses excellent technical skills and tactical nous, and is able to show maturity and composure beyond his years in the game.
For Borussia Dortmund, the signing of Maksimovic will be an important reinforcement. The addition of this young player will further enhance the team's midfield strength and lay a solid foundation for the team's future. However, with competition from Juventus, Manchester City and Liverpool, Dortmund will need to think carefully and come up with a reasonable plan.
