Early Career
Born in Belgrade, Vlahović took his first steps in football at Altina Zemun school, before moving to OFK Belgrade, where he spent the next three months of his early career. It was not long before Vlahović’s talent was spotted by top Serbian club Partizan Belgrade, where he signed a professional contract at the age of 15.

Less than two months later, Vlahović scored his first senior goal for the club against Radnik Surdulica, entering the history books as the youngest player ever to score for Partizan.
Vlahović’s rising profile attracted the attention of numerous established European clubs, including Arsenal, Juventus and Anderlecht, but Partizan’s club management turned down all initial offers. Nevertheless, it was inevitable that the Serb would part ways with his hometown club, which became official in the summer of 2017 when Fiorentina came in calling for the then 17-year-old striker. Vlahović officially joined the Viola in January 2018, but was not eligible to play until the summer of that year.
