Magpies Secure Highly-Rated Star: Transfer Announcement Excites Newcastle United Fans

Newcastle United has officially signed the highly-rated youngster Miodrag Pivas from FK Jedinstvo Ub. The 19-year-old versatile defender, who can also play as a defensive midfielder, marks the fifth addition to Newcastle’s squad this summer, following the arrivals of Lewis Hall, John Ruddy, Lloyd Kelly, and Odysseas Vlachodimos.

Pivas’s former club, FK Jedinstvo Ub, issued an official statement expressing their pride and excitement about his move to Newcastle. The club highlighted his talent and work ethic, drawing comparisons to Serbian football legends Nemanja Vidić and Banet Ivanović. The statement read:

“Miodrag Pivas recorded great games in the Jedinstvo jersey. Nemanja Matić also spoke about his talent, stressing that ‘this kind of potential has not been seen since Nemanja Vidić and Banet Ivanović’. The fact that Pivas became a Newcastle United player confirms that his talent is indisputable and that hard work and discipline produce results.

Pivas’s journey from the First League of Serbia to the Premier League is a testament to his talent and determination. Last season, he was the youngest player to regularly feature as a centre-back for Jedinstvo, helping his team secure a historic place in the Super League of Serbia. His impressive performances did not go unnoticed, and his dream of playing at the highest level is rapidly becoming a reality.

Before joining Jedinstvo, Pivas spent his formative years in Austrian football, playing for UFC Siezenheim and Grodig youth teams. His return to Serbia in 2023 marked a significant step in his career, culminating in his recent move to Newcastle United.

Newcastle United announced the signing with great enthusiasm, emphasizing Pivas’s potential and bright future at the club. The club’s statement echoed the sentiments of FK Jedinstvo Ub, acknowledging Pivas as a promising player whose hard work and dedication are bound to bring success.

Pivas could make his first appearance for Newcastle United in the pre-season friendly against Hull City on July 27. Fans and club officials alike are eager to see him in action, hoping he will bring the same level of performance and commitment that earned him accolades in Serbia.

The addition of Miodrag Pivas to Newcastle United’s squad is a significant step for both the player and the club. His journey from Serbian football to the Premier League is a story of talent, hard work, and determination.

As Newcastle continues to build a competitive team, Pivas’s arrival adds depth and versatility to their defensive options. Fans will be watching closely as this young star begins his Premier League career, hoping he will make a significant impact at St James’ Park.
