Club career

Early years

Born in Novi Pazar, Đerlek started playing football with a local academy named "AS" at the age of 7.[2] Four years later, he moved to Pazar Juniors. In an interview made in 2017, he remembered on 28 January 2011, when his grandfather took him to the first training.[3] Playing for the club, he was affirmed as "the target man" in the academy since 2015 when he left the club as one of the top youth prospects in Serbia.[4] He moved to OFK Beograd in summer 2015 at the age of 15, penning his first three-year professional contract with the club.[5] He sued the club for unpaid wages and received a dispute over arbitration in March 2017,[6] when he left OFK Beograd as a free agent.[7] Later, same month, it was announced about his moving to Partizan.[8] Previously, he had been marked as a pick of the greatest rival, Red Star Belgrade.[9]

Partizan

On 28 April 2017, Đerlek signed a three-year contract with

Eternal Derby on 14 April 2018, having played 57 minutes of the match. Đerlek was replaced by Zoran Tošić in second-half, while Partizan archived 2–1 defeat in the game.[15] Đerlek won his first trophy with Partizan after 2–1 victory over Mladost Lučani in final match of the 2017–18 Serbian Cup on 23 May 2018.[16] In summer 2018, after Gabriel Enache joined the club and took the number 44 shirt, Đerlek converted his squad number to 8, which previously had been worn by Vladimir Đilas.[17] Đerlek played his first continental match for Partizan in 3–0 victory over Rudar Pljevlja on 19 July 2018.[18]

Sivasspor

On 5 August 2019, Đerlek signed a five-year contract with Turkish Süper Lig club Sivasspor.[19] After not making any appearances for Sivasspor in the 2022–23 season, Đerlek's contract was terminated by mutual consent on 31 August 2023.[20]

International career

In 2014, Đerlek was invited into

Germany next day.[33]

Playing style

He is characterised as a creative playmaker with strong pace, likewise good ball control and game vision. He is also described as classic number 10 in 4-2-3-1 formation, with leadership and captaincy roles.[35][36][37] Due to his playing style, The Guardian compared him with Eden Hazard as also his compatriot Adem Ljajić.[38][39]
