Early life
Đurić was born in Tuzla, present day Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the time part of SFR Yugoslavia. His father, Goran, was a former Bosnian third division footballer. His family moved to Pesaro, in Italy in 1991, because of the outbreak of Bosnian war.

Cesena
He made his first team debut for A.C. Cesena on 30 October 2007, in a match lost to Mantova and scored his first professional goal a few weeks later in a league match against Frosinone. He was confirmed to Cesena also for the following season, in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione (Italian third tier).

After short loan spell to Cittadella, he spent 2014–15 season playing for Cesena in Serie A, being a first-team regular. His best performance came against Juventus, where he scored one goal, and assisted for the other, in a 2–2 draw.
