Ognjen Drakulić

Ognjen Drakulić came through Serbian youth football at Borac Banja Luka, Red Star Belgrade and OFK Belgrade before moving to Germany in 2021, first to TSV Schwaben Augsburg and then into FC Ingolstadt 04's academy the same year. He top-scored for Ingolstadt's B-Junioren in the 2021/22 season with seven goals in 16 matches.

The breakthrough came in 2023/24. Drakulić was part of the Ingolstadt side that won the Bayerischer Toto-Pokal, scoring once in two appearances in the competition, and he also finished as runner-up with the club's A-Junioren side in the Bundesliga South/Southwest. Ingolstadt rewarded that form by promoting him to the senior squad on 1 July 2024, on a free transfer, and tying him to a contract until 2027.

Since stepping up, Drakulić has made 24 appearances in the 3. Liga, scoring twice. He has continued to find the net at youth level too, including a hat-trick in a U19-Nachwuchsliga match in September 2024. His senior career has not been without setbacks: he had to be substituted through injury during a 3. Liga match against Havelse in February 2026.

Drakulić has yet to earn a senior cap for Serbia, though he remains part of the pathway through the country's underage set-up at U18 level.
