Dušan Vlahović, born on 28 January 2000 (age 26), is a Serbian striker with Besiktas, wearing squad number 28. At a commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he gives their attack an obvious focal point, though his value has usually been measured more cleanly in goals than in physique.
His most productive league season came with Fiorentina in 2020–21, when he scored 21 goals in 37 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of the level he can reach when the service is there and the rhythm suits him.
In 2026–27, Vlahović remains a regular first-team presence for Besiktas. He has scored seven goals in eight Süper Lig appearances, and has also played twice in Europa League qualifying and three times in the Europa League, taking him to 13 appearances and seven goals across all competitions for the club.
He has also stayed involved with Serbia, making seven appearances and scoring twice in World Cup qualifying this season. His career profile is straightforward enough: a Serbian centre-forward with a strong Fiorentina peak behind him and a current Besiktas spell in which he is still carrying a clear scoring role.
