Kenan Muslimović (born 13 February 1997) is an Austrian and Bosnian-Herzegovinian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Bulgarian First League club Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

Career

Born in Vienna,[1] he started playing in the youth teams of Austrian clubs FK Austria Wien and FC Admira Wacker.[2] In the summer 2014, he joined the senior team of First Vienna FC, however, he played for the B team.[3]

Following summer, in 2015, he moved to Italy and signed for the youth team of Novara Calcio[2] During the firs-half of the season, making 3 appearances in the youth league.[4] Novara won the race with FC Red Bull Salzburg in signing him.[5]

During the winter-break of the 2015–16 season, he left Italy and moved to former-Yugoslavia to join Bosnian side FK Mladost Doboj Kakanj.[6] playing in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1][7] Regarded as a major talent, in summer 2016 he moved to Serbia. Initially, he was about to join FK Partizan's farm-club FK Teleoptik, thus following a family tradition, since his father, who had ended his career prematurely because of illness, had played for the Partizan youth team.[8] However, instead, he ended up joining top-league side FK Novi Pazar.

He failed to debut in the SuperLiga during the first half of the 2016–17 season. In December 2016 and January 2017, he was on trials at German giants Hertha BSC.[9][10] He ended up staying at Novi Pazar, and made his debut in the Serbian SuperLiga on 18 February 2017, in the first round played after winter-break. In August 2017, he left Novi Pazar.

Between Summer 2017 and January 2019, Muslimović played in Germany for the second teams of 1. FC Kaiserslautern and SSV Jahn Regensburg.

On 25 January 2019, he came back and signed with Mladost Doboj Kakanj in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[11] After half a season, on 9 June 2019, Muslimović left Mladost.[12]

Ahead of the 2019-20 season, Muslimović returned to Germany and joined FC Pipinsried.[13]
