Nikola Vasiljevic

Nikola Vasiljevic (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Васиљевић; born 24 June 1996) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Napredak on loan from Red Star Belgrade.

Club Career

Vasiljevic started out at his hometown club Radnicki Nis. He later switched to Sloboda Uzice, being promoted to their senior squad in early 2013. In late summer 2014, Vasiljevic returned to Radnicki Nis and remained with the club for one season. He then joined Radnik Surdulica in the summer of 2015, making his senior debut the following spring. In March 2018, Vasiljevic extended his contract with the club for three more years, and soon established himself as the team's first-choice goalkeeper.

International Career

In September 2018, Vasiljevic was surprisingly called up by Mladen Krstajic to the Serbia national team to replace the injured Aleksandar Jovanovic ahead of the team's UEFA Nations League games with Lithuania and Romania. He remained an unused substitute in both matches. Two months later, Vasiljevic received his second call-up to the team, this time replacing the injured Marko Dmitrovic for Serbia's final two Nations League fixtures versus Montenegro and Lithuania.
