Igor Miladinovic seeks permanent move to Partizan Belgrade

Serbian midfielder Igor Miladinovic has expressed a strong desire to remain at Partizan Belgrade following his loan from AS Saint-Etienne. The 23-year-old, who joined the French club in August 2024 for 3 million euros, struggled to secure a regular position in France and is now looking to establish himself in his home country.

Miladinovic stated to the Serbian media outlet Sportska Centrala that he feels happy at Partizan and hopes to stay for the following season. His current loan agreement includes an option to buy, which could allow for a permanent transfer if the necessary conditions are met between the two clubs.

While his time at Partizan has seen mixed results, including seven league appearances with one goal and one assist, the player remains committed to the club. Meanwhile, AS Saint-Etienne has maintained a strong start to their season in Ligue 2, suggesting that Miladinovic's absence has not negatively impacted the squad's performance.
