Veljko Milosavljevic

Veljko Milosavljevic of Bournemouth was born in Požarevac, Serbia on 28 June 2007 (age 18).

Veljko Milosavljevic is a Serbian central defender, born on 28 June 2007 (age 18), and on Bournemouth’s books. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he has the frame for the position, though his senior career is still at an early stage.

In 2025-26, Milosavljevic made 7 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth without scoring. He also stepped into international football with Serbia, making 2 appearances in European World Cup qualifying. His market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt.

He was linked with Celtic in June 2025 while at Bournemouth. For now, his career is best read as that of a young Serbian defender trying to turn early exposure in England and with his national side into something more settled.

Veljko Milosavljevic made seven Premier League appearances for Bournemouth in 2025-26, with four starts and three substitute outings. The lack of goals or cards points to a limited, low-event introduction rather than a settled defensive role, but involvement at 18 suggests Bournemouth were prepared to give him senior minutes after his move from Red Star.

Milosavljevic's career path was still short: a trainee move to Red Star in 2020, then Bournemouth in 2025. That was a sharp early jump from Serbian development football into the Premier League, with two Serbia World Cup qualifying appearances adding senior international context before he had built a long club résumé.

The transfer record is simple: an academy/trainee move into Red Star, followed by a paid move to Bournemouth on 1 September 2025 for 13,000,000. That fee signals a recruitment bet on upside rather than proven Premier League output, and it represented a clear move up in league profile.
