From there, he cemented his status as first-choice goalkeeper for LASK, making over 170 league appearances.[5]
In the summer of 2018, Pervan moved to Germany, joining Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg. In April 2025, he signed a new contract with the club.

He made his senior debut on 19 November 2019 in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Latvia which Austria lost 0–1.[6] He has, as of April 2021, earned a total of 7 caps as a goalkeeper for Austria.[7]
