In August 2015 Hakšabanović spent a week on trial with Manchester United.[5] He has also been on trials for Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Manchester City.[6]

After spending his first senior season with only ten appearances and no goals, Hakšabanović scored his first goal on 4 April 2016, netting his team's only in a 2–1 away loss against IK Sirius Fotboll.

Following the temporary suspension of his contract with Rubin Kazan, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine,[16][17] Hakšabanović joined Djurgården until 30 June 2022.[18]
