Knežević until 2027

- It is a great honor to extend the contract with Red Star, the club where I grew up. I'm really happy to be here, and I want to establish myself in the first team as soon as possible and get a chance to make my debut and then have as many good games as possible. The atmosphere is great, we hang out, we respect each other, and I think that can be seen on the field as well, given that Zvezda is playing great. All my dreams are related to Zvezda, but I'm going step by step. I spent the previous six months in Napredek, I believe that I am more mature than I was and more ready for the challenges that Zvezda's first team brings. Positive nervousness is present, but I'm used to all that and I know how to deal with pressure - said Knežević.
