Coventry City transfer news from CoventryLive as fuel added to the fire over reported Sky Blues target
Coventry City have been linked with Marko Stamenic (centre) of Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) – seen here in action against goalkeeper Aleksandar Jovanovic (R) and Svetozar Markovic (L) of Partizan during the Serbian Cup semifinal i April.
Marko Stamenic – who it is claimed Coventry City have done a deal to sign from Red Star Belgrade – has fuelled speculation of an imminent move to the Championship club by travelling to the UK.
According to Serbian sports outlet Sportal.rs, the Sky Blues have splashed out £4.26m on the defensive midfielder – a claim that has caused much excitement amongst fans.
The online publication headlined their story this week as a ‘transfer bomb,’ saying it’s a ‘spectacular’ bit of business by the Belgrade club, otherwise known as FK Crvena Zvezda, claiming it has sold the holding midfielder for a ‘staggering €5m’ only a year after joining the club for free from Copenhagen.
The report says the 22-year-old New Zealand international was ‘one of the most responsible for Zvezda winning the fourth consecutive double crown’ in the Serbian SuperLiga’ – and the club’s seventh consecutive title.
CoventryLive understands the club have not completed a deal for any new player this week, although that doesn’t mean City aren’t interested in Stamenic, or that a deal isn’t in the pipeline.
Speculation about a move to England was further fuelled this week when Stamenic was pictured on instagram at a London restaurant (see below centre), with goalkeeper teammate Omri Glazer (right) and a friend (left).
