Club career
Early years
As Pantelić was coming up through the Red Star Belgrade youth system, his father got a job in Thessaloniki and took the family to Greece. Pantelić was still only 14 years old when he signed a professional contract with Iraklis Thessaloniki, where he spent two and a half years. At 17, he accepted an offer in France to play for Paris Saint-Germain and soon found himself training and playing alongside stars like Raí, Marco Simone and Leonardo. Finding playing time at PSG in short supply, he moved on to Lausanne for a season, scoring 14 goals in 21 Swiss league matches.
Next stop was an unsuccessful spell in Spain at Celta Vigo. During this time, he was sent out on loan to Sturm Graz in Austria.
Obilić, Smederevo, and Red Star Belgrade
In the summer of 2002, Pantelić returned home to Serbia, and signed with FK Obilić. Barely 24 years of age, he was essentially starting over as many were quick to write him off as yet another prospect whose career was derailed by going abroad too soon. In January 2003 he moved to FK Sartid Smederevo.
After settling in, he quickly established himself as the team's leader, spearheading them to the Yugoslav Cup title in 2003. Glowing performances in Smederevo did not go unnoticed by Red Star, and in January 2004, Pantelić became their biggest mid-season signing.
Hertha BSC
After securing a loan move to Hertha for €250,000 on 31 August 2005, the last day of the transfer window, he went on to score 11 goals in 28 league matches during the 2005–06 season. In April 2006, he permanently moved to Hertha for an additional €1.5 million fee and soon established himself as one of the most formidable strikers in the Hertha squad.
Right after getting signed permanently, he responded with an even better season with 14 goals from 32 matches in the 2006–07 season.
Next season, 2007–08 season, brought more steady play with 13 goals from 28 league matches.[1]
On 17 March 2009, Pantelić denied that he had held talks with any other clubs and coupled with his refusal to sign a new contract with the club,[2] he became a free agent during the summer 2009.[3]
Ajax
On 1 September 2009, after completing several medical tests, Pantelić signed a one year contract with Dutch side Ajax,[4][5] and was given the number 9 shirt.[6] During the season, Pantelić scored 16 goals and delivered 9 assists in 25 league matches. Following the season, Pantelić expressed his desire to sign a new contract with Ajax, preferably a multi-year deal, however Ajax has preferred a one year deal. Pantelić did not accept the Ajax offer of a one-year deal with an option of another, because he wanted a sure future for his family.[7] Ajax signed Mounir El Hamdaoui as his successor.
Olympiacos
On 21 August 2010, Pantelić joined Olympiacos on a free transfer. He signed a two-year contract worth 1.6m Euro/year.[8] He scored his first goal, against Panserraikos.
