Club career
Milosavljević completed the entire Red Star Belgrade youth school. He is the third youngest debutant in the history of the club, which speaks volumes about the potential that the tall stopper possesses. Due to his great technical characteristics, Milosavljević often performed in the position of defensive midfielder in younger selections.[citation needed]
During the 2023–24 Serbian SuperLiga season, Milosavljević played for the youth team of Red Star and appeared in the Serbian Cup matches for the first team against OFK Vršac and Trayal.[3] In August 2024, he was sent on dual registration to fellow Belgrade club Grafičar.[4]
On 1 September 2025, Milosavljević joined Premier League club AFC Bournemouth on a long-term contract in a deal worth £13,000,000.[5] On 15 September, he made his league debut in a 2–1 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion.[6]
International career
On 11 October 2025, Milosavljević debuted for Serbian senior team in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification against Albania, which ended in a 0–1 home loss for the Serbs.[7]
