Club career

On 13 April 2017, Vagić was promoted to Malmö's first team together with Samuel Adrian, signing a three-year contract. On 29 October the same year, he made his debut for the club in Allsvenskan, coming on as a substitute in a 4–0 away win against IK Sirius.{{cite web|url=https://www.mff.se/mff-skriver-larlingskontrakt-med-samuel-adrian-och-pavle-vagic/|title=MFF skriver lärlingskontrakt med Samuel Adrian och Pavle Vagic|date=13 April 2017|accessdate=7 July 2022|publisher=Malmö FF|language=Swedish}}
On 10 August 2018, Vagić signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with Malmö, while being sent on loan to Jönköpings Södra IF in Superettan for the remainder of the season.{{cite web|url=https://www.mff.se/pavle-vagic-skriver-a-kontrakt-och-lanas-ut-till-j-sodra/|title=Pavle Vagic skriver a-kontrakt och lånas ut till J-Södra|date=10 August 2018|accessdate=7 July 2022|publisher=Malmö FF|language=Swedish}}
