Former Inter Milan striker Marko Arnautovic has joined perennial Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade on a short-term deal. According to Calciomercato, the veteran center-forward has signed a one-year contract at Stadion Rajko Mitic. This move is the fulfillment of the 36-year-old's childhood dream. Indeed, Marko Arnautovic has never hidden his love for Red Star. On the contrary, he had reiterated his ambition to wear the red-white shirt multiple times in the past.

Furthermore, he fluently speaks Serbian and maintains strong ties to the country through his family. Meanwhile, his transfer to Red Star is not only a sentimental homecoming. It should also help the 1991 European Cup winners gain a foothold in the Champions League next term. It's also worth noting that Red Star tried to sign Arnautovic last summer.
