Club career[]

Borussia Dortmund[]

Burnić is an academy graduate of Borussia Dortmund. In January 2015, aged 16, he was invited by manager Jürgen Klopp to join the senior squad for their winter training camp in La Manga.[1] Three months later, he extended his youth contract until 2018, with the deal becoming professional in nature upon his 18th birthday.[2] “Escudo” Burnić was handed his debut for the senior side by Thomas Tuchel, who had replaced Klopp the season before, when he appeared as a stoppage time substitute for Felix Passlack in a 2–1 Champions League win over Sporting CP in October 2016.[3] He made his Bundesliga debut on 11 February 2017, starting at centre-back in a 2−1 loss against Darmstadt, in what was his only other senior appearance for the season.[4] He spent the majority of the campaign representing Dortmund's youth sides, however, where he captained the U19 team to the 2017 league title.[5]

Loan to VfB Stuttgart[]

On 10 July 2017, Burnić was loaned out to VfB Stuttgart until the end of the season.[6] Upon arriving at the club, he was reunited with manager Hannes Wolf with whom he had previously played under in Dortmund's U19 team.[7] He made his debut for the club on 12 August, starting in the left-back position following a pre-match injury to Timo Baumgartl in a penalty shootout win over Energie Cottbus in the DFB Pokal.[8] His league debut followed on 19 September when he came on as a second-half substitute for Orel Mangala in a 2–0 loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach.[9] Early in November, he received his first-ever red card when he was sent off for two bookable offences in a 3–1 loss to Hamburg.[10]

Loan to Dynamo Dresden[]

On 31 January 2019, Burnić joined Dynamo Dresden on loan until the end of 2018–19 season.[11]
