According to Mozzart Sport, the Serbian forward opted out of the contract to officially become a free agent.

The move doesn't close the doors for the return to Zvezda though, the report states. It is viewed as a formality to give the player more options while the club is waiting for the current head coach of the team, Dejan Radonjic, to reach a final decision regarding the next season.

According to Crvena Zvezda's statement, 52-year-old Radonjic has been offered a 2-year contract with the club expecting to receive his answer by June 30.

According to the information of the national television of Montenegro, Radonjic has made up his mind. He's going to decline Red Star's offer and will lead Panathinaikos OPAP Athens next season.

Radonjic and his agent Misko Raznatovic are visiting the Greek capital today to discuss the possible future with the club.
