  • Red Star Belgrade has until midnight to register new players for the Conference League, although Serbia’s wider transfer window remains open until September 18.
  • Coach Albert Riera wants reinforcement on the left wing, with Bologna’s Jesper Karlsson discussed as a possible arrival.
  • The club is expected to sign at least one player, and possibly as many as three, before the deadline.

Red Star Belgrade is racing against a midnight deadline to strengthen its squad for the Conference League. Serbia’s transfer window stays open until September 18, but the club’s practical deadline for arrivals in the European competition expires at 11:59 p.m. today.

Players signed after the registration deadline could still play for coach Albert Riera in domestic competitions, but not in the Conference League. That leaves Red Star with little time to complete its European business.

The club is expected to bring in at least one player, with two or even three arrivals still possible in the final hours. Sporting director Marko Marin is leading the effort.

Riera’s main request is a new left-wing option. Jesper Karlsson is being widely linked with a move to Marakana. The Swedish player is not part of Bologna’s plans and spent last season on loan at Lecce, Aberdeen and Utrecht. He is now looking for another club.
