Early life[edit]

Club career[edit]

Borussia Monchengladbach II[edit]

Mustafić started his professional career at Borussia Mönchengladbach II.[2][3][4][5][6]

After he passed all categories in Borussia Mönchengladbach, he signs a contract for the reserve team of that club, which at that moment competes in Regionalliga West. He stayed in the reserve team for two years in the hope of getting a call-up from the first team, but he never got it. He left the club after two years.

In July 2019, Mustafić signed for Elversberg who at the time was competing in the Regionalliga Südwest. In the two seasons he spent at the club, he made twenty-four appearances in league, one in the cup and three and the regional cup who won it twice. He left the club after two years.

Fola Esch[edit]

In June 2021, Mustafić joined defending champion of Luxembourg Fola Esch.[7] In thirty-seven appearances, he scored fifteen goals. After his contract expired, he did not find an agreement for a new one and left the club as a free agent.

Sarajevo[edit]

In August 2022, Mustafić signed for Sarajevo on a free transfer.[8] In the first round of the Cup against Čelik Zenica, he missed a penalty, eliminating Sarajevo from the cup.[9]
