Loan extended: Kosta Nedeljkovic to stay at RBL for another season

RB Leipzig can continue to count on the services of Kosta Nedeljkovic. The 19-year-old full-back, who joined the Red Bulls on loan from Aston Villa in February 2025, will remain with the club for the upcoming season after both clubs agreed to extend the loan deal until summer 2026.

The Serbia international made 10 Bundesliga appearances in the second half of last season, immediately showcasing his talent. Operating on the right flank, he impressed with his pace, technical ability and work rate. Kosta came through the youth academy at Crvena zvezda before making the move to the Premier League with Aston Villa.

Kosta Nedeljkovic:

“I’m really happy to be wearing the RB Leipzig shirt again this season. From day one, the club has given me a sense of trust and belonging. I’ve also been able to develop a lot in recent months. That gives me extra motivation to give everything to help us achieve our goals in the new campaign. I’m excited to be back and ready to go full throttle.”

Marcel Schäfer:

“Kosta settled in very quickly after joining us in the winter and made an instant impact on the pitch. He combines dynamism and intelligence with a strong desire to improve every day. We see a lot of potential in him – which makes it all the more pleasing that he’ll remain part of the squad next season. His mentality and playing style are a perfect match for the identity we want to show on the pitch. He’s fully committed to RB Leipzig.”
