Danilo Pantić (Serbian Cyrillic: Данило Пантић; born 26 October 1996) is a Serbian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Partizan on loan from Premier League club Chelsea. He has represented Serbia at multiple youth levels.
Pantić made his debut on 26 May 2013 in a league fixture against Spartak Subotica, replacing Vladimir Volkov in the 70th minute.
After a disagreement with Partizan over contract extension proposals, he signed a one-and-a-half year contract with Partizan on December 5, 2013.Juventus had scouted Pantić since early 2014, allegedly monitoring his status due to his short contract. After hearing about interest from Juventus, Pantić told Večernje novosti that he wished to extend his contract with Partizan before leaving Serbia.
On 13 July 2015 Pantić signed for Chelsea for a reported fee of £1.25 million, on a four-year deal and was immediately loaned out to Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem.
He made his Vitesse debut 17 days later in a UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg against Southampton at St. Mary's, replacing Valeri Kazaishvili for the final 23 minutes of a 3–0 defeat. On 9 August 2015, Pantić made his league debut in a 1–1 draw with Willem II, replacing Valeri Qazaishvili in the 71st minute.
