Lazar Samardžić

Lazar Samardžić is a Serbian midfielder who plays for Atalanta. The Football Association of Serbia lists him at 184 centimetres, with 27 senior international appearances and one goal. He was born in Berlin and represented Germany at youth level before choosing Serbia for senior football.

Samardžić is a left-footed player who can receive between midfield and defence. He looks for a forward pass when space opens, but he can also carry the ball away from pressure and move the attack to the opposite side. His best work begins with a clear first touch that lets him face the next line.

UEFA recorded seven qualifying appearances and 413 minutes for him in 2026. Those figures describe his role in that competition, while the larger FSS total covers his complete senior Serbia record. Keeping the two sets separate avoids presenting tournament minutes as an entire international career.

Atalanta gives Samardžić regular work in a system that asks midfielders to move between narrow combinations and wide support. For Serbia, he can offer a different passing angle near the penalty area. His task is not to copy another creator, but to use his own timing and left foot within the structure chosen for each match.
