The coach of the Serbia national team, Veljko Paunović, praised the capabilities of midfielder Sergej Milinković-Savić, affirming that he remains one of the standout players in his position despite his move to the Saudi league and wearing the Al Hilal jersey.

Pavlović stated that Savić is a very important player for the Serbian national team, noting that his technical and physical level qualifies him to play at the highest European levels without any issues, even at this stage of his career.

The Serbian coach added that he would not be surprised if Savic returned to Europe in the future, suggesting a move to major clubs like Barcelona or Real Madrid, should he decide to take on a new challenge.

These statements reflect great confidence in the abilities of the 31-year-old player, especially as he is delivering strong performances with Al Hilal, making him the focus of European clubs' attention despite his previous departure from the continent.
