Club career
Early career
Born in Titograd (currently known as Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro) he lived as a youngster in Serbia, in the city Lučani, where he played for the youth team of the local club FK Mladost Lučani. He later joined FK Budućnost Podgorica where he made his senior debut playing in the Montenegrin First League in the 2008–09 season. He also had a half season loan spell with FK Mladost Podgorica.[2]
Torino
On 30 January 2014, he signed with Italian side Torino on a free transfer, after a couple of days on trial under the manager Giampiero Ventura.[3] He made his official debut for the Granata on 9 March 2014 during the trip to Milan against Inter, in which he was a starter, playing the full 90 minutes, lost 1–0. By the end of the 2013-14 season he made four appearances for Torino.[4]
Rijeka
In summer 2014, he moved to Rijeka in Croatia's Prva HNL on a one-year loan.[4] In the following year, Vešović returned to Rijeka. The transfer was facilitated through Rijeka's Italian partner club, Spezia Calcio in Serie B.[5][6] On September 18, 2016, he scored a brace in a 5-2 victory for Rijeka over Dinamo Zagreb.[7] Rijeka went on to win the Croatian First Football League in 2017; it was the first season in which Dinamo Zagreb did not finish first since 2005. Vešović was coached by Matjaž Kek during his three years at Rijeka.
Legia Warsaw
Vešović scored his first goal for Legia in a 2-1 win over Lech Poznań on March 4, 2018.[8]
International career
After having been part of the Montenegrin U-19 team, Marko Vešović has been a regular presence in the Montenegrin U-21 team between 2009 and 2013.[2] On May 20, 2013, Marko was called up for Montenegro national football team for the first time.[9] After being an unused substitute in several games, he finally made his debut for Montenegro on October 15, 2013, as a substitute in the last match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification against Moldova.[10] On 1 September 2017, Vešović scored his first goal for Montenegro in a 3–0 away win over Kazakhstan as part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.
