Leković in competition for "Golden Boy"

In the list of 100 footballers, along with Leković, there were also players such as Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich), Gavi (Barcelona), who are certainly the first favorites to win the popular recognition that is traditionally awarded at the end of 2023 future football aces by the Italian "Tutosport". The system is such that journalists vote for the most talented by giving them points, and the list is shortened to 80, 60, 40, and then the final 20, after which the winner is determined. The ceremony was held last year in November, and the award was won by Gavi, who is again one of the favorites.

Lekovic is, without a doubt, the future of Serbian and European football, given that he is a stopper with great technique and a perfect jump game. Able to create attacks from the back line, as well as a fantastic passing game, make him a modern stopper, the prototype of a defender that is required in today's football. Leković literally started playing in Crvena zvezda, and while wearing the jersey of the first team, he played 19 matches and scored two goals.
