Rade Bogdanović publicly criticized Red Star Belgrade striker Marko Arnautović, questioning his annual net salary of three million euros. Bogdanović suggested the 37-year-old attacker, whom he described as a ‘copy of Zlatan Ibrahimović’, prioritizes nightlife over football contributions and argued the club should invest in younger players instead.

Following these criticisms, reports suggest Arnautović may depart the club during the winter transfer window. While he has scored seven goals in 16 matches this season, his playing time has recently decreased under coach Albert Riera, specifically regarding his absence from recent Conference League matches. All seven of his goals this autumn were scored against domestic opponents.

Speculation regarding his next destination has expanded to include the German second division. Austrian media reports suggest a move to Hannover 96 is a realistic scenario. Red Star technical director Marko Marin, a former German international and long-time friend of Arnautović, is reportedly a candidate for a high-level sporting role at Hannover. It is speculated that Marin could facilitate the striker’s move to Germany. While a return to the Austrian Bundesliga or a move to Italy remains possible, no official negotiations have been confirmed by Red Star or Hannover 96.
