Mihailo Ivanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Михаило Ивановић; born 29 November 2004) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a centre-forward for EFL Championship club Millwall and the Serbia national team.

Club career

Vojvodina

At the end of March 2021, Ivanović signed his first professional contract with Vojvodina.[3] On 22 May 2022, Ivanović made his first-team debut, replacing Veljko Simić in the 90th minute in a 0–2 away win against TSC Bačka Topola.[2]

On 8 August 2022, Ivanović joined Serie A club Sampodria on a season-long loan with the option to buy.[4] After Sampodria failed to activate the option to buy Ivanović, he returned from loan and signed a new three-year contract with the club.[5] On 18 April 2024, Ivanović signed an extension to the existing contract, keeping him at Vojvodina until June 2027.[6]

Millwall

On 30 August 2024, Ivanović signed a long-term contract with EFL Championship club Millwall for a reported fee of £2.8 million.[7] Following a strong first season for the club, he was named Young Player of the Year at the club's end of season awards, also winning the Goal of the Season award.[8]

International career

Ivanović was called up to the Serbia U-17 team in 2020 for its friendly matches.[9] He was member of a national U18 team.[9]

Ivanović received his first call-up to the Serbian senior squad for the Nations League matches against Spain and Denmark in September 2024.[10] On 18 November, he debuted in a Nations League match against the latter at the Dubočica Stadium, replacing Andrija Živković in the 82nd minute of a goalless draw.[11]
