The 20-year-old joined team training last weekend after his medicals.
Djurdjevic played 33 games for Vozdovac las season, achieving a goal and an assist each.
We spoke to new Partizan number 24 upon signing.
"I`m really excited! Everything was smooth and in the right direction regarding my transfer. I cannot wait to play in front of packed stands of Partizan ground and in front of the Partizan fans, to show what I`m capable of, to do my best and to learn from my new teammates and coaches.I know i can advance surrounded by all of them", said Djurjdevic.
How would you describe yourself playing-wise?
'I would describe myself as a more defensive right-back, someone who his teammates can rely on, hopefully. I hope I will be rock solid at the back, allowing players in front of me to have playing freedom and to be able to count on me at any given moment".
You know most of the Partizan players from Superliga and national team.
"I know almost all of them. Younger ones from the Serbian youth teams and other new teammates I played against. They all welcomed me in an excellent fashion, they are more than friendly but you can clearly see how serious and hard-working they are and that`s how it should be".
Superliga starts this weekend. How ready are you?
"I`m ready and I cannot wait for it to start. I would love us to play good and bring joy to the fans, to bring back smiles on their faces'.
You played against Partizan bitter rival with Vozdovac. Now, you will have a chance to play Eternal derby game.
"That`s right, it`s the biggest game in Serbian football. It`s a game you have to show everything you know but it`s also a game of highest level of pressure. I am looking forward to it. God willing, let us all be healthy to be better and win that game".
Who do you have the most respect for at the right-back position?
"At the moment and in my opinion, best right-back is Dani Carvajal of Real Madrid. He`s one of the football icons of the day and one of Madrid`s legends, seasoned player who plays on highest level even today. Dani won EC and CL, that`s why I think he is the best right-back at the moment".
Your message to the fans?
"I`ll do my best at all times! I always hope for the best and i hope we`ll win the title", said Vukasin Djurdjevic.
