Edin Julardžija (born 21 January 2001) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Slovak First Football League club Košice.
Julardžija was born in the Zagreb neighbourhood of Ferenščica. His father Dino, who hails from Bešpelj near Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina,[2] was a coach at Dinamo Zagreb academy, which Edin joined when he was six years old.[citation needed] He started attracting attention of prominent European clubs such as Chelsea (whose offer his family refused in 2014),[3] Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Valencia.[2]
Julardžija made his senior debut for Dinamo Zagreb on 17 November 2018, in a friendly against Široki Brijeg.[4] He was a key part of Dinamo's 2019–20 UEFA Youth League campaign, notably scoring a Panenka in a penalty shoot-out in the round of 16 against Bayern Munich.[5][4] On 1 April 2020, he signed a professional contract with Dinamo.[4][6] On 18 July 2020, he made his competitive senior debut in a 0–0 draw with Istra 1961, replacing Lovro Majer in the 85th minute.[7] On 30 November 2020, Julardžija was named amongst twenty best players of the Youth League by UEFA, alongside teammate Bernard Karrica.[8]
In February 2021, Julardžija was loaned out to Slaven Belupo, to replace his Dinamo teammate Niko Janković whose loan deal got terminated by Slaven due to injury.[9] In July, he was sent on another loan, this time to Šibenik.[10]
Julardžija signed a four-year contract with Gorica in the summer of 2022.[11]
On 12 January 2026, it was announced that Julardžija would be joining Slovak club FC Košice,[12] becoming their first signing of the winter transfer window.[13]
