Sergej Professional Club Career
Vojvodina
As a learner, Sergej joined a Serbian professional football club, Vojvodina, where he was named in youth squad alongside Mijat Gacinovic and Nebojsa Kosovic that won two consecutive national youth championship titles. Finally, he made a three-year deal with this club on 26 December 2012.

Milinković-Savić’s ability to pick out key passes and through balls has been cited as a couple of his strengths. The Serbian international averaged 1.5 key passes per game and had a pass success rate of 79.6%.
This doesn’t seem amazing on the surface – and it isn’t. But something to consider is that Lazio could only finish eighth in Serie A last season and struggled to find the back of the net (especially in comparison to 2017/18).
If it wasn’t for his passing, his work-rate, Lazio would’ve probably been even worse. That’s part of what makes his probable departure scarier from a Lazio fan’s perspective.
