Sunderland confirm Milan Aleksić loan to Partizan Belgrade for 2026/27 | OneFootball

Sunderland have confirmed Milan Aleksić has joined Partizan Belgrade on loan for the 2026/27 campaign.

The club said in a statement that the 20-year-old, a Partizan academy graduate, returns to his former side to aid his development this season.

He struggled to break into the senior side during his first two years on Wearside. He joined Polish club Cracovia last summer, then was recalled in January due to limited playing time and to free up an international loan slot.

Aleksić later featured only sporadically for Sunderland’s U21s in the closing months, with the club keen for him to secure regular senior minutes.

Partizan finished third in the Serbian top flight last season. Sunderland have not confirmed whether an option to buy forms part of the agreement.
