About Sergej Milinković-Savić

Sergej Milinković-Savić turned professional at Vojvodina in 2013, launching what would become a 13-year journey through 4 countries for the Serbian-Spanish central midfielder. Today the shirt being worn belongs to Al Hilal, and the timeline keeps growing.

Club by club, the full journey looks like this: Vojvodina (2013–2014), then Genk (2014–2015), then Lazio (2015–2023), then Al Hilal (2023 to today). Memorize routes like this one and your Daily Play scores will thank you.

The longest loyalty belonged to Lazio, an association stretching about 8 years. The move abroad came in 2014, when Genk in Belgium came calling. Count the flags: Serbia, Belgium, Italy, Saudi Arabia — each one a different league, a different footballing culture.

Written in the record books: 524 recorded appearances, 115 goals, 89 assists.

Some parts of the story do not fit in any stat column. He is the older brother of Vanja Milinković-Savić, also a professional footballer and a goalkeeper. His agent is former footballer Mateja Kežman, who signed him after watching him train for only 10 minutes. His mother, Milana Savić, was a professional basketball player, and his father, Nikola Milinković, was also a footballer.

Next time a grid ends at Al Hilal, you will have an edge. Each of the 4 clubs listed below doubles as a clue, and knowing how Sergej's chapters connect separates a first-attempt guess from a near miss.
