Ivan Paurević (born 1 July 1991) is a Croatian footballer who plays for FC Ufa.

Club career

Paurević started his professional career in native Germany with Borussia Dortmund reserves and Fortuna Düsseldorf.

In July 2014, at the age of 23, he moved abroad, signing with Russian Premier League side Ufa.^[1] An ever-present figure in Ufa starting XI, Paurević helped them avoid relegation in his first season as the team had finished just above the relegation play-off zone.

Germany-born Paurević had chosen to represent Croatia internationally and played for their U-19 and U-21 teams, amassing 5 caps for the latter.

Paurević is a hard-working defensive midfielder who possesses a powerful long shot, and he can also play as a center-back.^[2]
