Биография
Early Life
Nemanja Maksimović was born in Banja Koviljača, Serbia, where he began his football journey in the youth teams of Red Star Belgrade. Despite showing promise, his contract with the club was terminated, leading him to seek opportunities elsewhere. His breakthrough came after a standout performance at the 2013 UEFA U19 Championship, which earned him a contract with Slovenian club NK Domžale. He made his professional debut on October 18, 2013, in a match against Zavrč, marking the start of his professional career.
Career Progression
In February 2015, Maksimović signed with FC Astana in the Kazakhstan Premier League. He made headlines on August 27, 2015, when he scored a crucial equalizer against APOEL, helping Astana qualify for their first-ever UEFA Champions League group stage. His success in Kazakhstan led to a move to Valencia CF in July 2017, where he debuted in La Liga shortly after. In July 2018, he joined Getafe CF, where he continued to develop his skills until 2024.
Maksimović's international career is equally impressive. He played for Serbia's U19 team, winning the UEFA European U-19 Championship in 2013, and was part of the U20 squad that triumphed at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, scoring the winning goal in the final against Brazil. He made his senior debut for the Serbia national team in March 2016 and participated in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, playing in all three group stage matches.
Recent Developments
In January 2024, Maksimović signed a three-year contract with Panathinaikos F.C., set to take effect in July 2024. Following this, he is expected to join Shabab AlAhli Dubai Club in 2025, continuing his professional journey in football. Throughout his career, Maksimović has established himself as a talented midfielder, contributing significantly to both his clubs and the national team.
