NK Zagreb

Pavlović came through the youth system at NK Zagreb. He made his senior team debut in a 4–0 league defeat to Hajduk Split on 9 November 2008.[3] He was a regular first team player in NK Zagreb's Prva HNL campaigns for the 2008–09, 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons, and has also participated in the Croatian Cup.[4]

The central defender was a reported transfer target for a number of major European teams. In April 2011, Croatian sports magazine Sportske novosti said that scouts from Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, VfB Stuttgart and Zenit St Petersburg had watched him in recent matches.[5] In May 2011, Croatian newspaper 24sata alleged that former French international Christian Karembeu, now a scout, had filmed the player with a view to recommending him to clubs in Ligue 1.[6]

In January 2016, Werder Bremen announced that Pavlović would be used neither in the first team nor in the reserves.[11] In February, the club was still looking to offload the player whose contract was due to end in summer 2016.[12]
