Club career
Voždovac
Daničić is a youth prospect of Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade, whose academy he left in 2019 and joined Serbian SuperLiga side Voždovac on free transfer.[3] He made his SuperLiga debut on 27 July 2019 in a 2–2 draw with Proleter Novi Sad.[4] Three months later, on 9 October, he made his Serbian Cup debut as Teleoptik defeated Voždovac 8–7 in a penalty shootout.[5][6] He made seven appearances for Voždovac in the first half of the season.[7]
Dinamo Zagreb
Due to lack of playing time, in the shadow of in-form Stefan Hajdin, Daničić signed in January 2020 with Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb on free transfer.[8][9][10] He became the second Serbian player after Komnen Andrić to play for Dinamo since the independence of Croatia.[11] The transfer sparked minor controversy in Serbia due to rivalry between Dinamo and Daničić's youth club Red Star.[8][9]
He debuted for Dinamo on 27 January 2020 in Premier League International Cup against Leicester City, as the English side won 2–1.[12][13] He made his Druga HNL debut for Dinamo Zagreb II on 22 February 2020 in a 2–2 draw with Orijent 1919. The first team coach Zoran Mamić gave Daničić a chance in the first team on 18 July, as he made his Prva HNL debut in a goalless draw with Istra 1961.[14][15]
International career
Daničić holds both Serbian and Croatian citizenship, having been born in Zagreb,[8] making him eligible for both Serbia and Croatia national teams. On youth level, he was capped five times for Serbia U19 since 6 September 2018.
