RB Leipzig have announced the signing of Kosta Nedeljković from Premier League side Aston Villa.
He rejoins the German club on a season-long loan.
The 19-year-old Serbian international began his professional career with Red Star Belgrade, having come through their academy.
He joined Aston Villa in 2024, making appearances for the Midlands club before moving to RB Leipzig in January 2025 for the remainder of the season. He featured a further ten times for Leipzig as they missed out on European qualification for the first time.
He spoke on the move: “I’m very happy to get to wear the Leipzig shirt again next season. The club has given me a feeling of trust and belonging since the first day.
“I’ve been able to develop further in recent months, so it’s a big motivation for me to give my all for us to achieve our goals in the new season.”
Marcel Schäfer added: “Kosta quickly settled in at RB Leipzig after his arrival in winter and impressively showed his abilities on the pitch.
“We see great potential in him, so we’re even happier that he’ll be part of our team again next season. Kosta’s mentality and style of play are an excellent fit for the way we want to play in the new season.”
