Early career

Đuričić began playing football at local side Obrenovac 1905,[2] before joining Red Star Belgrade's youth system.

Benfica

On 23 February 2013, it was confirmed that Đuričić, along with fellow national team player Miralem Sulejmani, had passed medical tests and committed to a five-year contract with Benfica from summer 2013; with the Portuguese club spending €6 million to secure his services.[6][7] A week later, Benfica revealed that the contract which Đuričić had signed contained a release clause which valued him at €40 million.[8] Đuričić made his debut for Benfica on 18 August 2013, where he scored his first goal against Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League.[9]

Sassuolo

In late June 2018, Đuričić signed a four-year contract with U.S. Sassuolo Calcio.[18] In October 2019, his form improved under coach Roberto De Zerbi, scoring a goal in a 3–4 loss to Inter Milan on 20 October 2019 and another one five days later in a 1–0 win against Hellas Verona.[19]
