Marko Arnautović

**Marko Arnautović** (Serbian Cyrillic: Марко Арнаутовић; born 19 April 1989) is an Austrian professional footballer. He plays as striker for Serbian SuperLiga club Red Star Belgrade and the Austria national team. He is the top goalscorer of the Austrian national team.

## Career

Arnautović started his career at Floridsdorfer AC. In 1998, he joined the academy of FK Austria Wien. He spent the next few years playing for different youth teams in Austria, before joining FC Twente in 2006.

Arnautović made his professional debut for Twente in the 2006–07 season, in a match against PSV Eindhoven in April 2007. In the 2008–09 season, Arnautović scored 14 goals in 41 matches, helping Twente finish 2nd in the Eredivisie, and reached the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup. In March 2009 after a league match against Willem II, opponent Ibrahim Kargbo accused Arnautović of racially abusing him. An investigation by the Dutch Football Association found no evidence against him, and the case was dismissed.

In August 2009, he joined Inter Milan on loan, with the option to make the loan permanent if he played a set number of matches. He made his Serie A debut in a 1–0 away win against Chievo on 6 January 2010. At the end of the season, Inter Milan did not make the loan permanent, with manager José Mourinho saying that Arnautović "is a fantastic person but has the attitude of a child".

On 4 June 2010, Arnautović signed for Bundesliga club Werder Bremen. Before he had played a match for Bremen, team captain Torsten Frings labeled him as "arrogant". He made his Bundesliga debut on 21 August 2010 in a 4–1 loss against Hoffenheim.

In March 2012, he suffered a knee ligament injury while playing with his dog, which meant he couldn't play for two months. In April 2013, Arnautović and his teammate Eljero Elia were caught speeding, and were both suspended by the club.

On 2 September 2013, Arnautović joined Premier League team Stoke City for a fee of £2 million. He played there for four years, before joining West Ham United on 22 July 2017, for a club record fee of £20 million. On 7 July 2019, Arnautović signed for Chinese team Shanghai SIPG (later rebranded as Shanghai Port) for a fee of £22.4 million.

After two years in China, he signed for Serie A side Bologna on 1 August 2021. On 16 August 2023, Arnautović rejoined Inter Milan on loan. On 29 November, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal with Inter Milan, in a 3–3 draw against Benfica, which was the longest time between goals of any players in the competition, after 12 years and 357 days from his last goal in 2010. He joined Inter Milan permanently for the 2024–25 season.

In July 2025, Arnautović signed for Red Star Belgrade in Serbia. In the press conference to announce the transfer, Arnautovic revealed that the transfer completed a promise he made to former manager Siniša Mihajlović.

## International career

Arnautović made his debut for Austria on 11 October 2008, in a 1–1 draw against the Faroe Islands. He scored his first two goals for Austria on 8 October 2010, in a 3–0 win against Azerbaijan in UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying.

On 6 June 2022, he played his 100th match for Austria in a 2–1 loss against Denmark in the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League. On 25 September, he became the most-capped Austrian player with 104 caps, breaking the previous record of Andreas Herzog.
