Coventry City appear to have sealed the signing of Marko Stamenic with Red Star Belgrade boss Nenad Milijas wishing him well with the Sky Blues.
Coventry City have spent well in the past two transfer windows, with eye-catching sales of Viktor Gyokeres and Gustavo Hamer funding notable investment into the playing squad.
While purchases might not be quite so lucrative this year, the Sky Blues are still likely to spend as the look to break back into the Championship promotion picture.
The window doesn’t open until Friday, but plenty of speculation has already circulated over potential additions. One man heavily linked has been Marko Stamenic, and it looks as though a move is on the cards.
Speaking to Serbian news outlet Zurnal (quotes via Coventry Live), Red Star Belgrade boss Nenad Milijas has spoken openly about Stamenic’s move to Coventry City, suggesting that the move is as good as done.
He backed the New Zealand international to settle quickly and succeed in the Championship, saying:
“Stamenic is a quality player who showed quality at the beginning and end of his stay at the Maracana. I hope he does well in Coventry.
“Marko is not from our climate and I believe that he will fit in very quickly. I mean the language, his mother tongue is English, that’s why he is totally prepared.
