Career

Born in Vienna, ^[1] he started playing in the youth teams of Austrian clubs FK Austria Wien and FC Admira Wacker. ^[2] In the summer 2014, he joined the senior team of First Vienna FC, however, he played for the B team. ^{[3] [4]}

During the winter-break of the 2015–16 season, he left Italy and moved to former-Yugoslavia to join Bosnian side FK Mladost Doboj Kakanj. ^[7] playing in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. ^{[1] [8]} Regarded as a major talent, in summer 2016 he moved to Serbia. Initially, he was about to join FK Partizan's farm-club FK Teleoptik, thus following a family tradition, since his father, who had ended his career prematurely because of illness, had played for the Partizan youth team. ^[9] However, instead, he ended up joining top-league side FK Novi Pazar.

He failed to debut in the SuperLiga during the first half of the 2016–17 season.

In August 2017, he left Novi Pazar.

Between Summer 2017 and January 2019, Muslimović played in Germany for the second teams of 1. FC Kaiserslautern and SSV Jahn Regensburg.

On 25 January 2019, he came back and signed with Mladost Doboj Kakanj in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. ^[12] After half a season, on 9 June 2019, Muslimović left Mladost. ^[13]
