With Dina, our team has gained an experienced player who will definitely invigorate the competition for places in midfield and will also provide a positive input," said head coach Achim Feifel about the new signing. "She has developed really well over recent years and the way she plays football suits us very well."
Since 2017/18, Blagojević has made 73 appearances for SC Sand and scored ten goals along the way. The midfielder has regularly been in the Serbia Women's team squad since 2014. For the 24-year-old, the move in the summer is "the absolute right and logical next step" in her career. She follows top scorer Milena Nikolic to the Werkself who also came from the team in eleventh place in 2019.
"I'm happy to be playing alongside Milena again – we work really well together on the pitch," said the Serbian and she is looking forward to a successful time at Leverkusen: "Leverkusen have shown this season that they can play very good football and deserve to be where they are in the table. I hope this successful journey continues and that I can play my part in that success."
