Esteban Ariel Saveljich (Montenegrin: Естебан Савељић; born 20 May 1991), also known as Esteban Saveljić, is a Montenegrinfootballer who plays for Spanish club Albacete Balompié on loan from Levante UD and Montenegro national team as a central defender.
Born in Tandil, Buenos Aires Province, Saveljich joined Racing Club's youth setup in 2006, aged 15. On 23 June 2012 he made his first team – and Primera División – debut, in a 1–2 away loss against Vélez Sársfield.
Saveljich scored his first professional goal on 1 April 2014, in a 3–3 home draw against Estudiantes. He was also a part of the squad which was crowned champions in that year, but as a backup.
In January 2015 Saveljich was loaned to fellow top tier club Defensa y Justicia, until the end of the year. He appeared in 24 matches, scoring once, as his side avoided relegation.
On 24 January 2016 Saveljich moved abroad, signing a six-month loan deal with Segunda División side UD Almería. On 18 August, he signed a permanent four-year deal with fellow league team Levante UD.
On 4 August 2017, after contributing rarely with the Valencians' promotion to La Liga, Saveljich was loaned to Albacete Balompié in the second division, for one year.
