AC Florence

On January 31, 2007, Kuzmanović moved to the Italian Serie A at Fiorentina when he was 19 . The transfer fee was estimated at three million euros , making Kuzmanović the most expensive Swiss U-21 player of all time. On March 4, 2007, he came to his first appearance in Serie A when he came on in the 65th minute of the game of Fiorentina against FC Turin for Manuele Blasi . With AC Florence, Kuzmanović played in the Champions League for the first time in the 2008/09 season .

Udinese Calcio

On January 22, 2016, Kuzmanović was loaned to Udinese Calcio in Italy. The loan lasted until the end of the 2016/17 season, with Udinese Calcio having a purchase option that was not drawn.

Málaga CF

Since Kuzmanović was still under contract with FC Basel and this was still coached by Urs Fischer, Kuzmanović was looking for a club to borrow for the 2016/17 season.
