Milan Đurić (Bosnian pronunciation: [mǐlan dʑûːritɕ]; born 22 May 1990) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie B club Salernitana and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.

Club career

Early career

He played for Vis Pesaro's youth system until 2005, when the club declared bankruptcy and he was consequently released for free, being successively signed by San Marino and successively Cesena, where he played for the youth team coached by former Bosnian footballer Davor Jozić.[1]

Milan Đurić made his debut for Cesena on 30 October 2007, in a match lost to Mantova[2] and scored his first professional goal a few weeks later in a league game against Frosinone.[3]

During his first spell with Cesena, he was spotted by Serie A club Parma, which the club bought half of the registration rights of Đurić from Cesena in June 2010, with Alberto Galuppo moved from Parma to Cesena in the same formula.[4][5][6] However, Milan Đurić, along with his brother Marco Đurić, also participated in the pre-season of Cesena at the start of 2010–11 season.[7][8] On 30 August 2010, Đurić was loaned to Ascoli.[9][10][11]

On 28 January 2011, he was loaned out to Crotone. The deal was extended for another season on 15 June 2011.[12]

Second Cesena spell

After Cesena bought Đurić back from Parma in June 2012, the club loaned him to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Cremonese.[13] In July 2013 he was loaned to Trapani.[14] In January 2014, he was loaned to Cittadella.[15]

Đurić finally got the chance to play for Cesena in 2014, being a first-team regular in Serie A. His best performance came against Juventus, where he scored one goal, and assisted for the other, in a 2–2 draw.[16] Although Cesena were relegated at the end of the season, Đurić decided to stay with the club in Serie B.[17]

Bristol City

On 4 January 2017, Đurić joined Championship side Bristol City for an undisclosed fee.[18] On 7 January 2017 he made his debut in the FA Cup Third Round tie against Fleetwood Town.[19] Đurić scored his first goal for the club in a 1–0 win over Rotherham United on 4 February 2017.[20] In late March, he had a hernia surgery, ruling him out for rest of the season.[21]

Problems with hernia reappeared in July, ruling him out indefinitely.[22] He scored on his return to action on 24 October, in a 4–1 EFL Cup win over Crystal Palace.[23] Đurić also scored on his league return against Sunderland four days later, which turned out to be a winning goal in 2–1 victory.[24] He underwent another surgery in early December to repair an undisclosed injury, which also ruled him out indefinitely.[25] The recovery took three months, and he returned to action on 10 March 2018 against Burton Albion.[26]

Salernitana

Đurić returned to Serie B and signed a four-year contract[27] with Salernitana in August 2018, sealing his return to Italy.[28] He was linked to the club in June 2018.[29]

International career

In July 2010, Đurić expressed his desire to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina.[30] Indeed, on 12 February 2012, he got his first call-up for Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21, to play against Serbia under-21 in Belgrade,[31] but waited for his debut until 1 June 2012, when he was substituted on in 79th minute and scored 10 minutes later in a comfortable 3–0 home victory over Belarus under-21 in a UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification game.[32]

On 10 September 2012, against Germany under-21, Đurić scored his first hat-trick for Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21, while also providing an assist for Bosnia's fourth goal of the game, which ended 4–4. This made impressive tally of six goals, with two assists, in just four played games.[33]

On 27 March 2015, he made his debut for the senior national team against Andorra in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier.[34] On 10 October 2015, Đurić scored his first goal for the senior national side against Wales, heading the ball into the net after an assist by Miralem Pjanić. In 90th minute, he gave an assist to Vedad Ibišević, for a crucial 2–0 win.[35] Three days later, he scored the winning goal against Cyprus, which sent Bosnia and Herzegovina into UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs.[36]

Personal life

Đurić was born in Tuzla, present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the time part of SFR Yugoslavia. His father, Goran, was a former Bosnian third division footballer. His family moved to Pesaro, Italy in 1991, because of the outbreak of Bosnian war. Although he was born in Tuzla, his family is from Vlasenica.[37]
