Developments: 2. Red Star Belgrade has engaged in several player acquisitions during the summer 2026 transfer period. In late July, the club signed Ghanaian international Derrick Luckassen on a three-year contract following his departure from Pafos FC. Luckassen noted that discussions with teammate Ognjen Mimović gave him “a really good feeling” about the move. Shortly after, winger Osman Bukari contributed to the team’s early domestic success, scoring in a 3-1 victory over FK Vojvodina. By late August, the club secured Senegalese striker Bamba Dieng on a two-year contract with an option for an additional year. Dieng joined as a free agent from FC Lorient after a potential transfer to Lazio Rome collapsed due to knee issues identified during a medical examination in Italy. While the Lazio deal failed, Dieng successfully cleared medical examinations in Belgrade to finalize the move. Valued at approximately 15 million euros, Dieng expressed excitement about joining the club and stated his goal is to help the team achieve success in upcoming competitions, including the Europa League. Under manager Albert Riera, Dieng is expected to provide depth and goal-scoring potential for the club’s European campaign. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-20: Bamba Dieng signs with Red Star Belgrade after failed Lazio transfer Bamba Dieng has signed a two-year deal with Red Star Belgrade after a failed medical with Lazio.
