Budućnost

[edit]

Vukčević represented Budućnost Podgorica as a youth, and was promoted to the first team in June 2013. On 11 August he made his senior debut at the age of 17, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Mladost Podgorica.

Vukčević scored his first goal as a senior on 19 October 2013, netting the first in a 1–2 away loss against Čelik Nikšić. He finished the campaign as an undisputed starter, contributing with two goals in 30 appearances as his side achieved a UEFA Europa League spot.

Vukčević made his European debut on 3 July 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 win at Sanmarinese club Folgore Falciano.[1]

Sevilla

[edit]

On 14 January 2016 Vukčević moved to Sevilla, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal and being immediately assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[2] He appeared in four matches during the season, as the B-side achieved promotion to Segunda División.

On 23 January 2017, after failing to feature in any appearances for the first half of the campaign, Vukčević was loaned to third division side San Fernando until June.[3]

Spartak Subotica

[edit]

In the summer of 2017, he joined Serbian club Spartak Subotica.[4]

Waasland-Beveren

[edit]

On 26 July 2019, Vukčević signed a four-year contract[5] with Belgian club Waasland-Beveren in a €250,000 transfer from Spartak Subotica.[6] There he became teammates with fellow countryman Stefan Milošević.

Rijeka

[edit]

On 5 February 2021, Vukčević joined HNL Club HNK Rijeka for an undisclosed fee. He would spend 2 years there, appearing in 71 matches and scoring a single goal.

Juárez

[edit]

After two years in Croatia, on the 13th of September 2023, HNK Rijeka would sell Vukčević to Liga MX club FC Juárez for a fee of €1,000,000. On 17 July 2024, he returned to Spain after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with FC Cartagena in the second division.[7]

Preston North End

[edit]

On 25 July 2025, following the expiry of his Juárez contract, Vukčević signed a three year contract with EFL Championship club Preston North End.[8]
