Marko Pjaca (Croatian pronunciation: [mâːrko pjâtsa];[2][3] born 6 May 1995) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Croatian football club Dinamo Zagreb and the Croatia national team.
Pjaca began his professional club career in Croatia with Lokomotiva Zagreb in 2012, before moving to Dinamo Zagreb in 2014. After winning consecutive domestic doubles with Dinamo, he joined Juventus in 2016, where he also won a domestic double in his first season. However, after injuries hindered his development, Pjaca was sent out on a string of loans to six different clubs, to Schalke 04, Fiorentina, Anderlecht, Genoa, Torino and Empoli.
At international level, Pjaca represented Croatia at UEFA Euro 2016 and at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, reaching the final of the latter tournament and making an appearance in it.
