Adem Ljajić is a Serbian professional football attacking or right midfielder for Serbian club FK Partizan. He is considered one of Serbia’s biggest talents and his abilities have led to him being nicknamed Little Kaká.

Ljajić made an appearance for Partizan in the first leg of the 2nd qualifying round of the 2008-09 UEFA Champions League on July 29, 2008, entering the match as a second-half substitute. He made a second substitute appearance in the second leg and another substitute appearance in the second leg of the 3rd qualifying round. He is the first Partizan player to wear the number 22 since Saša Ilić left in 2005.

On October 15, 2008, it was announced that Manchester United had given Ljajić a trial, although no information was given about the length of the trial initially. The following day, Partizan general secretary Darko Grubor confirmed that “It is not true that Ljajić went to England without permission. We have been in contact with Manchester United for some time now and Ljajić was with the international team in Britain at this moment so it was handy for him to go on trial now.”

Real Madrid are also said to be interested.
