His current club announced on 24 August 2009 that he can leave the club. On 29 January 2010, he left SV Werder Bremen and was loaned to Gençlerbirliği for the rest of the season. In September 2011, Vranješ joined Aris Thessaloniki F.C.. He made his debut in the yellow jersey against Olympiakos F.C.. His contract was terminated on 10 January 2012. In May 2012, he joined HNK Rijeka in Croatia, where he played six games before his contract with the club was terminated in November 2012.
