RB Leipzig Signs Kostandin Nedeljkovic

German club RB Leipzig announced on Monday the signing of defender Kostandin “Kosta” Nedeljkovic, 19, on loan from Aston Villa until the end of the season. The deal includes an option to buy.

“I knew I wanted to take this opportunity because this club prioritizes young players and gives them the chance to develop,” Nedeljkovic said. “Last year wasn’t the best for me, so I’m eager to prove myself.”

Leipzig also confirmed that striker André Silva will spend the remainder of the season on loan at Werder Bremen.

Silva, 29, has been with Leipzig since the summer of 2021 and has played 15 official matches under coach Marco Rose this season, scoring one goal and providing three assists.
