"Sveta archived this game like the one against Čukarički, played without a mistake. I've said a million times, and now I repeat that he is the future of the club."

—Nemanja R. Miletić, an interview after the victory over Javor Ivanjica, March 2018[35]

At the beginning of his youth career, Marković used to play as a defensive midfielder or winger through the categories of Radnik Bijeljina.[3] Coming to Partizan's youth setup, he has adapted as a centre-back.
