Al-Jazira have completed the loan signing of left winger Milson from Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade, securing the Angolan‑Portuguese attacker on a deal running from 2026-02-09 to 2026-06-30. The move takes the 26-year-old into the UAE Pro League, with Red Star retaining his rights ahead of a scheduled return to Belgrade when the loan expires.
The transfer is registered as a loan transfer rather than a permanent sale, despite Milson currently carrying a market value of €3.50m. He joins Al-Jazira from a Red Star side competing in the Super liga Srbije, and the agreement ensures he will be playing his club football abroad in the United Arab Emirates rather than in either of his home countries, Angola or Portugal, for the duration of the loan.
This switch continues a notably international career path. Born in Luanda, the 1.70 m winger holds both Angolan and Portuguese nationality and is listed primarily as an attacking left winger, operating from the left but preferring his right foot. Before arriving at Red Star Belgrade, he featured for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel’s top flight and FC Pari Nizhniy Novgorod in Russia, having earlier moved through the Portuguese system with CS Marítimo’s first team and Marítimo B after time at Leixões SC U19. His earliest recorded club move came when he left Real Sambila FC in Angola for Leixões’ youth ranks.
The pattern of his market value over recent seasons underlines his rise. From €300,000 at Marítimo in early 2021, his valuation dipped slightly at Marítimo B before climbing steadily in Russia and Türkiye, passing €700,000 at FC Pari Nizhniy Novgorod and MKE Ankaragücü. A strong spell with Maccabi Tel Aviv pushed that figure into seven digits, peaking at €4.00m in mid-2024, and later reaching €5.00m during his time with Red Star Belgrade. It has since settled at €3.50m ahead of this latest move to the Gulf.
The deal also carries a clear contractual implication for his medium-term status. According to the registration, Milson is due to return to Red Star on 2026-06-30 at the end of the loan period. With no new contract details at Red Star included in the available data and no further extension specified beyond the end of the loan, there is a visible pathway under which he could move towards free-agent status if no fresh agreement is reached after his return.
For Al-Jazira, the arrival of a versatile, right‑footed left winger with experience in Portugal, Russia, Türkiye, Israel and Serbia adds a player accustomed to adapting quickly to new leagues. For Milson, this confirmed transfer provides another step in a career increasingly defined by moves across different football cultures, and the months between 2026-02-09 and 2026-06-30 in the UAE Pro League will help determine whether his next chapter lies back in Belgrade, in the Gulf, or as a potential free agent on the wider market.
