Crvena zvezda has seen the departure of two players. Filip Škobalj left the club following the expiration of his one-year contract, with the club issuing an official statement thanking him for his work ethic and contributions.

Shortly after, the club confirmed that defender Strahinja Eraković is no longer a player. Eraković, a product of the club’s youth academy, is expected to move to a new team as his parent club, Zenit, seeks to accommodate other foreign players. While interest from Al Sadd in Qatar was anticipated, reports suggest a potential loan move to the Turkish side Samsunspor.
