Club career
Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Juranović went through the ranks of the third-tier NK Dubrava, apart from a two-month stint at the nearby NK Croatia Sesvete academy. Making his third-level senior debut in the 2012/2013 season, he first drew attention to himself by winning the Croatian leg of the Nike Chance competition for amateur players in early 2014, earning the right to vie for a spot in the Nike Academy team. Not making the 5-person cut, however, he returned to his club. His club performances remained strong, and, touted by some media as the best player of the autumn leg of the 2014/2015 Treća HNL Zapad, he drew the attention of HNK Hajduk Split.
After signing a three and a half-year long contract with Hajduk in early 2015, he initially joined their third-tier B team, but was moved to the first team in April 2015 by the new manager Goran Vučević, and he made his Prva HNL debut in a 1-2 home loss against HNK Rijeka.
Personal life
Juranović comes from the Dubrava quarter of Zagreb. Both his brothers, Dragan and Mihael, are also football players.
