In a move that has sent shockwaves through Crvena Zvezda and its supporters, veteran defender Aleksandar Dragović has officially terminated his contract with the club. The decision comes as a result of internal disagreements with the club’s management regarding future plans and playing time, marking an abrupt and unexpected end to his tenure at the Serbian champions.
Dragović, a key figure in Zvezda’s recent successes, was widely regarded as a leader both on and off the pitch. Since joining the club, he played a crucial role in stabilizing the defense and contributing to domestic and European campaigns. However, behind the scenes, tensions reportedly grew over his role in the squad and the direction in which the club was heading.
Sources close to the situation suggest that Dragović was unhappy with a reduction in his playing time and had differences in vision with the club’s management regarding long-term squad planning. Despite efforts to find a solution, both parties ultimately agreed that terminating the contract was the best course of action.
This unexpected development leaves Crvena Zvezda with a significant gap in their defensive lineup, especially as they continue to compete on multiple fronts. Fans have expressed disappointment over the departure, as Dragović was seen as a pillar of stability and experience in the squad.
The club is expected to make an official statement soon, while speculation grows over Dragović’s next move. Whether he continues his career in another European league or explores new opportunities elsewhere remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—his departure is a major blow to Crvena Zvezda’s ambitions this season.
