The first blow for Monza’s defense takes shape: Stefan Lekovic has arrived in Italy and is preparing to become a new player for the Brianza team, Sky Sport reports. The defender arrived in Milan, where team manager Carmine Russo was waiting for him. Tomorrow, Friday 17 January, the player born in 2004 will undergo medical examinations and sign his contract.
Leković is recognized for his defensive solidity, aerial ability and ability to set up play from the back. His height gives him an advantage in aerial duels, making him effective both defensively and offensively at set pieces. He represented Serbia at Under-19 and Under-21 level, making 15 and 3 caps respectively.
Born in 2004, the Serbian footballer leaves Red Star of Belgrade with the loan formula with conditional redemption obligation: in his sixth appearance, the Brianza club will be asked to buy him for 2.5 million euros.
In recent days, Monza coach Salvatore Bocchetti had announced the arrival of a new central defender: “What news do you expect from the market? After tonight, definitely a defender (laughs, ed.). Let’s see.” Then on the possibility that Pablo Marì and Bondo should go to Fiorentina, the Monza coach responded like this: “No, Galliani told me that there were no negotiations. They are to all intents and purposes Monza players and they have trained great, I train those I have available and try to get the best out of them. Then the market finds other dynamics, we have Dr. Galliani who will seize the opportunities.”
