Jovan Ćirić, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.67

A mark of 7.67 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Veljko Ilić turns down Mladost Lucani

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Widzew Łódź keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Business is business: Nemanja Žunić goes

Partizan paid $280.0K and Mladost Lucani took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

CSKA Moscow tell Mladost Lucani: Vladislav Torop is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Tempers go at Mladost Lucani

Nenad Gavrić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match15 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani see off OFK Beograd

Three points for Mladost Lucani, 2‑1 the final word against OFK Beograd in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Nikola Boranijašević ran the middle of the pitch — 7.54

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 12 combined actions and a mark of 7.54, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Veljko Kijevčanin stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.88 on the card, and the Mladost Lucani support went home talking about one name.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani ask about Lazar Balević

A loan enquiry to Napredak: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market10 Aug 2026

Partizan come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mladost Lucani did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market10 Aug 2026

Not going: David Đokić stays at Mladost Lucani

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Dinamo Vranje had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market10 Aug 2026

Nenad Gavrić comes home

The shirt still fits. Nenad Gavrić is back at Mladost Lucani, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mladost Lucani

Petar Bojić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani rebuffed over Cristopher Varela

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Deportivo La Guaira have kept their man, and Mladost Lucani go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match8 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani get the job done against Radnicki Nis

A 2‑1 win over Radnicki Nis, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani supporters have found a favourite in Jovan Ćirić

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Jovan Ćirić has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market10 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani promote Milan Ilic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Milan Ilic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Veljko Kijevčanin was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.19. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
