Deni Milošević (pronounced [děni milôːʃeʋitɕ]; born 9 March 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Bosnian Premier League club Željezničar. Born in Belgium, he played for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.

Milošević started his professional career at Standard Liège, who loaned him to Beveren in 2015. The following year, he joined Konyaspor. In 2021, he switched to Antalyaspor, who sent him on loan to Sakaryaspor in 2022. Three years later, he moved to Željezničar.

Milošević represented Belgium and Bosnia and Herzegovina at youth levels, but decided to represent the latter at the senior level. He made his senior international debut in 2018, earning 11 caps until 2020.

Club career

Standard Liège

Milošević came through the youth academy of his hometown club Standard Liège. He made his professional debut in a UEFA Europa League game against Elfsborg on 12 December 2013 at the age of 18. A month later, he made his league debut against Oostende.[1]

In September 2015, he was sent on a season-long loan to Beveren.[2] On 20 September, he scored his first professional goal against Club Brugge.[3]

Konyaspor

In June 2016, Milošević was transferred to Turkish outfit Konyaspor for an undisclosed fee.[4] He made his official debut for the team against Rizespor on 20 August.[5] On 20 October, he scored his first goal for Konyaspor in a UEFA Europa League tie against Braga.[6] Three months later, he scored his first league goal in a triumph over Rizespor.[7] He won his first title with Konyaspor, the club's first ever trophy, on 31 May 2017, by beating İstanbul Başakşehir in the Turkish Cup final.[8]

Milošević made his 100th appearance for the squad against Kahramanmaraşspor on 31 October 2018.[9]

In January 2019, he extended his contract with the team until June 2022.[10]

Antalyaspor

In July 2021, Milošević moved to Antalyaspor on a three-year deal.[11] He made his competitive debut for the side on 15 August against Göztepe.[12] On 28 October, he scored his first goal for Antalyaspor in a Turkish Cup fixture against Diyarbakırspor.[13]

International career

Despite representing Belgium at various youth levels, Milošević decided to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina at the senior level. He was first part of the Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21 team.[17]

In August 2015, his request to change sports citizenship from Belgian to Bosnian was approved by FIFA.[18] Subsequently, he received his first senior call up in August 2017, for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Cyprus and Gibraltar,[19] but had to wait until 23 March 2018 to make his debut in a friendly game against Bulgaria.[20]

On 23 March 2019, in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier against Armenia, Milošević scored his first senior international goal.[21]
