His career began with FK Partizan, where he achieved remarkable success by winning the double of the Serbian Superliga and the Serbian Cup in 2008. Following this, he transferred to ACF Fiorentina for an estimated ten point eight million euros. During his five seasons with the Italian club, he netted forty goals in one hundred thirty-four appearances, which led to a transfer to Manchester City for approximately twenty-six point seven million euros.
