After playing for Budućnost Podgorica, Muratović joined Yugoslav champions Lovćen in 2001. He helped them win two consecutive national cups (2002[1] and 2003[2]). In 2003, Muratović moved abroad to Spain and signed with Cangas. He would switch to fellow Liga ASOBAL club Valladolid in 2005.

In 2008, Muratović was transferred to German team SG Flensburg-Handewitt. He suffered a shoulder injury during a friendly game in January 2009,[3] causing him to miss the rest of the season. In May 2010, his contract was terminated by mutual consent.[4]

In 2013, Muratović returned to handball and joined his former club Cangas.
