Early career

Because of the outbreak of Bosnian War, Đurić's family fled from his native Bosnia and Herzegovina and moved to Italy, where he started playing football at local clubs, before joining Cesena's youth academy in 2006. He made his professional debut against Mantova on 30 October 2007 at the age of 17. On 8 December, he scored his first professional goal in a triumph over Frosinone.[2]

In July 2010, Đurić switched to Parma in a co-ownership deal.[3] In August, he was loaned to Ascoli for the rest of campaign.[4] In January 2011, he was sent on a six-month loan to Crotone. In June, his loan was extended for an additional season.[5]

In the summer of 2012, Đurić returned to Cesena, who loaned him immediately to Cremonese until the end of season.[6] In July 2013, he was sent on a season-long loan to Trapani.[7] In January 2014, he was loaned to Cittadella for the remainder of season.[8]

Đurić played his 100th game for the side in a loss to Torino on 12 September 2021.[17]

International career

Đurić was a member of Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21 team under coach Vlado Jagodić.[18]

On 10 October, in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Wales, Đurić scored his first senior international goal.[21] Three days later, he scored the winning goal against Cyprus, which sent Bosnia and Herzegovina into UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs.[22]
