In June 2017, Đukić returned to Partizan after replacing Videoton FC-bound Marko Nikolić. During his second spell at the Partizan Stadium he made several controversial statements, starting in March 2018 when he used profanities at a press conference, saying that he "was born in fucking Štitar and not sunny Valencia" and that he was "a bum like all of you here." In May, he said "if Marko Janković manages to overcome the Montenegrin in him, he will be a great player"; in July, he referred to the team of FK Trakai as not being "some Indians with feathers."
