Club career

edit

Born in Zemun, Belgrade, Šarić began his footballing education at the academy run by his father before joining the youth set-up at Red Star Belgrade.[1] Coming through the academy, he initially played on the wings before being repositioned as an attacking midfielder.[2]

In the 2025–26 UEFA Youth League, Šarić scored two goals and recorded two assists as Red Star's under-19 side defeated Shakhtar feeder club Banyk 4–1 in the second leg, sealing progression to the next round where they faced Žilina.[3] His performances attracted interest from scouts from clubs across Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands.[4]

Šarić made his senior debut on 20 December 2025 in Serbian SuperLiga round 20, coming on as a substitute against FK Mladost Lučani under head coach Vladan Milojević.[5] Shortly afterwards he suffered a meniscus injury during training and underwent surgery, sidelining him for approximately one month.[6]

Following his recovery, Šarić rejoined the first team under new head coach Dejan Stanković and scored twice during a 5–0 friendly victory over FK Obilić from Zmajevo in March 2026 during the international break.[7]

Personal life

edit

Šarić comes from a footballing family. His father Dejan Šarić is a former professional footballer who captained FK Zemun and later ran his own football academy, where Dimitrije took his first steps in the sport. His older brother Marko Šarić is also a professional footballer.[8]
