He scored his first competitive goal for the club only two days later, after coming on as a substitute for Nikola Ninković in a 5–1 home victory over Radnički Kragujevac.

Afterwards, Živković scored a goal in the next three league games, in a 3–1 home win over Rad, in a 2–1 away win against Sloboda Užice, as well as in a 2–0 home victory over OFK Beograd.

On 4 March 2014, Živković became Partizan's youngest captain of all-time at 17 years, 7 months and 18 days.

In his third senior season, Živković played regularly since the beginning of the campaign, despite being unable to score in any competition.

He also appeared in five games of the UEFA Europa League group stage.

After failing to find the back of the net for several months, he scored his first goal of the season in a 5–1 home league win over Borac Čačak on 7 December 2014.

On 17 July 2014, Živković scored once in the league's opener versus Metalac Gornji Milanovac, as the game ended 4–0.

He made 88 appearances for Benfica, scoring four goals and contributing 24 assists.

In his first official game for PAOK he scored a goal against his previous team Benfica, which as a result missed the Champions League play-offs.
