Personal life

Vranješ's older brother Stojan is also a professional footballer.[35]

He has been the subject of many controversies during his career. In August 2010, he wore Delije shirt to celebrate his then club Sheriff Tiraspol eliminating Dinamo Zagreb in a UEFA Champions League qualifier, which was construed as provocation.[36] In 2015, he made a tattoo depicting borders of Republika Srpska on his left upper arm, which led to public scrutiny. He later apologized and covered the tattoo up.[37] Because of the tattoo, he had many altercations with BHFanaticos, the largest Bosnian support group.[38] In September 2018, he was sentenced to eight months probation for instigating fan violence over his Facebook page during his time with AEK Athens.[39] Later that year, it was spotted that Vranješ had a tattoo of Chetnik duke Momčilo Đujić on his upper right arm, which got him publicly criticized by the Bosnian FA and the fans, with whom he already had bad relations.[40] In January 2019, he was once again in center of a scandal, as media reported that he had an affair with Serbian singer Jelena Karleuša, who was married to footballer Duško Tošić at the time.[41] In January 2023, he, along with his brother, was found guilty of battering a couple and fined 6.000 BAM.[42]
