Club career
Early career
Born in the eastern Slavonian city of Vukovar, Croatia, Gajić spent his childhood in the northern Serbian city of Pančevo where he began practicing football at the age of six with Dinamo Pančevo. He was subsequently recruited by OFK Beograd, making his senior debut in the 2013–14 campaign. Afterwards, Gajić was a first team regular for two seasons, collecting 46 league appearances and scoring four goals.
Bordeaux
On 22 July 2015, Gajić signed a five-year contract with French club Bordeaux. His transfer from OFK Beograd reportedly cost Bordeaux €800,000. Initially, Gajić saw little playing time as he was the team's second choice to starting right back Youssouf Sabaly.
Red Star Belgrade
On 4 February 2019, Gajić signed a 3.5-year contract with Red Star Belgrade. Although Red Star qualified for the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League, coach Vladan Milojević and Red Star's management opted not to register Gajić in their 23-man Champions League squad, ultimately choosing Marko Gobeljić as the starting right-back.
CSKA Moscow
On 17 June 2022, Gajić signed a three-year contract with Russian Premier League club CSKA Moscow. On 8 October 2023, he scored twice in a Main Moscow derby game against FC Spartak Moscow which ended in a 2–2 draw.
International career
Gajić represented Serbia at the 2014 UEFA Under-19 Championship, as the team was eliminated in the semi-final by Portugal. He was also a member of the team that won the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. In May 2017, head coach of the Serbia U21 side Nenad Lalatović included Gajić in the final squad for the 2017 UEFA Under-21 Championship in Poland.
He made his debut for Serbia national football team on 24 March 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Ireland.
