Lazar Samardzic, born on 24 February 2002 (age 24), is a Serbia international attacking midfielder now with Atalanta. His current market value is around £17m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career has been shaped most clearly at Udinese, where he became a regular Serie A player rather than just another tidy midfielder passing through Italy. Across three seasons there he made 93 league appearances and scored 13 league goals, with his best return coming in 2023-24: six goals from 34 league matches.
Samardzic is now at Atalanta, where the current season has brought five Serie A appearances and one goal, plus two outings in the Conference League qualifiers. He has also remained involved with Serbia, making seven appearances in European World Cup qualifying and two in the Nations League this season.
At this stage, his profile is straightforward: a technically able Serbian midfielder whose senior career is still defined by sustained work at Udinese, with Atalanta the next test rather than a finished chapter.
