Marko Pjaca is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a left winger for the Eredivisie club Twente and the Croatia national team.

Pjaca began his professional club career in Croatia with Lokomotiva Zagreb in 2012, before moving to Dinamo Zagreb in 2014. After winning consecutive domestic doubles with Dinamo, he joined Juventus in 2016, where he also won a domestic double in his first season.
