In July 2022 HJK bought Radulović from AIK for a rumoured fee of €150,000. Radulović signed a contract lasting until the end of 2023 season.[4] His contract was later extended until the end of 2024. During the 2022 season, Radulovic recorded 8 goals in the league, the most in the team, as HJK renewed its title for the third consecutive year. Radulovic also scored two goals in the club's European campaign, where HJK qualified for the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League.

Radulović scored a hat-trick in eleven minutes after coming on as a substitute in HJK’s 1–3 win over Inter Turku on August 20, 2023.[5] Radulovic scored a brace against Farul Constanta in the decisive 2nd leg of the 2023-24 UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round, leading HJK to a 2–0 victory (3–2 aggregate) and securing a place in the group stage.[6] Radulović scored HJK’s only goal as the team drew to Aberdeen FC 1–1 away in the Conference League. The goal was his second in two UECL games.[7]

Radulović scored 18 goals in 24 league games during the 2023 season, earning himself the golden boot as HJK won the league for the fourth straight season. In an interview with Ilta Sanomat, he explained that he had adjusted better to Helsinki and the team and felt he was in much better shape than the first season saying: “Now I remain cool after a poor performance and I know I will score in the next.”[8]
