Danilo Pantić (Serbian Cyrillic: Данило Пантић; born 26 October 1996) is a Serbian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Chelsea. He has represented Serbia at multiple youth levels.

Club career

Partizan

Pantić made his debut on 26 May 2013 in a league fixture against Spartak Subotica, replacing Vladimir Volkov in the 70th minute.[2][3]

After a disagreement with Partizan over contract extension proposals, he signed a one-and-a-half year contract with Partizan on December 5, 2013.[4] Juventus had scouted Pantić since early 2014, allegedly monitoring his status due to his short contract.[5] After hearing about interest from Juventus, Pantić told Večernje novosti that he wished to extend his contract with Partizan before leaving Serbia.[6]

Chelsea

On 13 July 2015 Pantić signed for Chelsea for a reported fee of £1.25 million, on a four-year deal and was immediately loaned out to Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem.[7]

Loan to Vitesse

He made his Vitesse debut 17 days later in a UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg against Southampton at St. Mary's, replacing Valeri Kazaishvili for the final 23 minutes of a 3–0 defeat.[8] On 9 August 2015, Pantić made his league debut in a 1–1 draw with Willem II, replacing Valeri Qazaishvili in the 71st minute.[9]

On 3 March 2016, after being supposedly 'frozen' out of the Vitesse starting eleven, Pantić stated his passion for a return to London: "I want to come back to Chelsea, just to train. Why am I in Vitesse if I am not good enough? I am [going] crazy! I've made no mistake. If I had a chance and blew it, I would keep quiet. Maybe in Vitesse they don't like us Serbs: Nemanja Matić did not get a chance here either and Uroš Đurđević played 22 matches in a year and a half."[10]

Following this interview, Pantić was suspended by first-team manager Rob Maas indefinitely.

International career

Youth

Pantić has represented Serbia at the U17 and U19 levels.[11] On 10 October 2014, Pantić scored his first and second goal for the U19 side in the opening twenty minutes against San Marino U19 to help Serbia to a 4–0 victory in their opening match of the 2015 UEFA Euro U19 Championship Qualifiers.[12] Pantić has captained at the U19 level, captaining for the first time on 12 October 2014, against Armenia U19 in a UEFA Euro U19 Championship Qualifier match, which ended in a 1–0 victory for the Serbian side.
