Club career

Radnički 1923

Kostić signed his first professional contract with FK Radnički 1923 in 2010 at the age of 17. This was after the club was promoted to the Serbian SuperLiga from the Serbian First League. He began attracting the interest of several clubs including Red Star Belgrade, Anderlecht, Udinese, and Tottenham Hotspur. On April 15, 2012, he was named starting left winger in Sportal's ideal team of round 24 in the SuperLiga.

After getting little playing time, Kostić finally began showing promising potential from the beginning of the 2013-14 Eredivisie; he attracted media attention after playing a brilliant game in which he had one assist against NEC, and then on August 25 he added to his reputation of play-making by assisting twice against Go Ahead Eagles. Finally, on October 20, 2013, Kostić scored his first ever goal for Groningen in a 1-0 win against PSV Eindhoven.

VfB Stuttgart
