Club career

Early career

A right-footed midfielder, Kurtić joined the 1. SNL club Gorica in August 2010 from the 2. SNL club Bela Krajina.[3]

His stint at Gorica lasted only six months, as he was noted by scouts of Serie A club Palermo; on 18 December 2010 it was announced Kurtić had agreed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Sicilians, effective from January 2011, thus making him the fourth Slovenian to join the club during the 2010–11 season.[4]

On 12 January 2011, Kurtić made his Palermo debut in the Coppa Italia round of 16 game against Chievo; the match ended in a 1–0 win for Palermo.[5][6] On 13 February 2011, Kurtić made his debut in Serie A, playing the whole 90 minutes against Fiorentina. On 10 April 2011, Kurtić scored his first goal in Serie A for Palermo against Cesena.[7]

On 1 August 2011, he moved on loan to Varese in Serie B, with an option for his new club to acquire 50% of his transfer rights by the end of the season.[8] He debuted for the team in Serie B on 27 August against Bari. For the 2012–13 season he returned to Palermo.

Sassuolo

On 30 January 2014, he moved to Torino on loan,[11] also at the decision of Palermo, who owned half of his player rights. He scored his first goal for Torino on 19 April 2014 in the 34th round away to Lazio (3–3).[12] During the season, Kurtić collected 16 appearances and scored two goals in the league.[12]

On 20 June 2014, his co-ownership agreement between Palermo and Sassuolo was resolved in favour of Sassuolo.[13]

Loan to PAOK

On 18 July 2021, Kurtić joined Super League Greece club PAOK on a two-year loan contract.[20][21] On 23 January 2022, he became the second PAOK player, after Stavros Sarafis in 1972–73, to score in six consecutive league games.[22]
