Nedeljkovic expressed his gratitude towards RB Leipzig, stating that the club has given him a feeling of trust and belonging from the very beginning. He is motivated to develop further and achieve the team's goals in the new season.
As a Serbian international, Nedeljkovic made 10 appearances for Aston Villa under manager Unai Emery, mainly coming off the bench. The deal will allow him more minutes on the pitch, which will help his development.
RB Leipzig's managing director for sport, Marcel Schäfer, is pleased with the deal. He praised Nedeljkovic's abilities, saying he combines dynamism, game intelligence, and a desire to continuously improve.
Schäfer believes that Nedeljkovic has great potential and that his mentality and playing style perfectly fit the approach RB Leipzig wants to show on the pitch in the new season.
Nedeljkovic signed for Aston Villa from Red Star Belgrade in January last year, and his return to RB Leipzig is seen as a positive step in his development as a player.
