Overview
Nemanja Žunić, born 9 September 2003 in Užice, is a 1.90 m right-footed centre-back with family ties to the club: brother Filip is in the squad, father Dragiša coaches the U19s. His breakthrough came on loan at Javor Ivanjica in 2024-25: 35 games, 3 goals, and a value peak of €435K.
2025-26 is the open question: two 90-minute games with 7+ ratings in August, then he vanished from the squad — a 2-3 game season. No injury record, no selection explanation; no source confirms a cause. The value slid to €250K on that uncertainty. Contract reads 30.06.2026. No caps.

| Strengths | Development Areas |
|---|---|
| A 1.90 m frame + set-piece goals (3 in 35) | 2025-26 effectively empty — cause unknown |
| A 59-game inventory at 22 | The value curve 43% below its peak |
| A short contract = a possible low entry | The international radar closed |
Verdict
The Javor breakthrough is a real base and the frame is valuable; but no fee can be modelled before on-the-ground intelligence clarifies the vanished season.
A clarified situation plus a 15+ game return in 2026-27 turn the €250K band into a serious opportunity.
