Milan Đurić (born May 22, 1990 in Tuzla, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Bosnian football player who currently plays for Crotone on loan from Parma.

Career

Đurić was born in Tuzla to Bosnian Serb parents (his father, Goran, being a former Bosnian third division football striker) which moved to Pesaro in 1991.[1] Although he was born in Tuzla, his family is from Vlasenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2]

He played for Vis Pesaro's youth system until 2005, when the club declared bankruptcy and he was consequently released for free, being successively signed by San Marino and successively Cesena, where he plays for the youth team coached by former Bosnian star Davor Jozić.[1][3] He made his first team debut on October 30, 2007, a Serie B 2007-08 match lost by Cesena against A.C. Mantova[4] and scored his first professional goal a few weeks later in a league match against Frosinone. He was confirmed to Cesena also for the following season, in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione (Italian third tier).

Despite being a Bosnian citizen, Đurić's native language and only known language is Italian.[1] He will be allowed to obtain an Italian passport after his 18th birthday.[1]

On June 30, 2010, Milan was loaned to Ascoli Calcio 1898.

On January 28, 2011, he was loaned out to Crotone. This deal was extended on 15 June 2011 for another year.

In July 2010, Đurić expressed his desire to play for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team.[2]
