Filip Marković (Serbian Cyrillic: Филип Марковић, born 3 March 1992) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays for Spanish club RCD Mallorca as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Born in in Čačak, Marković spent most of his graduated from FK Partizan's youth categories, but was promoted to FK Teleoptik, Partizan's farm team, instead of the main squad. On 14 August 2010 he made his debut as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home success against FK Sinđelić Niš. He scored his first goal on 23 April of the following year, but in a 1–2 away loss against FK Radnički Sombor.

On 11 June 2013, Marković moved to S.L. Benfica, along with his brother Lazar, but was assigned to the reserves while his brother went straight to the main squad.[1] He made his debut for the Encarnados on 1 September, again from the bench in a 1–1 away draw against F.C. Penafiel.[2]

Marković scored his first goal for Benfica B on 6 November 2013, in a 4–4 home draw against C.F. União.[3] He finished the campaign with 21 appearances, the vast majority as a substitute.

On 15 August 2014, Marković signed a two-year deal with the Spanish Segunda División's RCD Mallorca.[4]

Personal life

Marković's younger brother, Lazar, is also a footballer. A winger, he too was groomed in Partizan's youth setup.[5]
