Club career
The beginnings: Genoa and Avellino
Born in Norrköping, Karić started his career in the youth ranks of IF Sylvia, before moving to the Italian Serie A team Genoa in the summer of 2017. He played for Genoa's Under-19 squad in the 2017–18 and 2018–19 season, but he never featured for the senior squad.[2]
On 22 August 2019, Karić joined Serie C club Avellino on a season-long loan.[3]
He subsequently made his professional debut for Avellino on 7 September 2019, during a game against Teramo. He substituted Julián Illanes in the 70th minute and scored his first professional goal 4 minutes later, establishing the final score of 2–0.[4]
Südtirol
On 13 August 2020, Karić joined fellow Serie C club Südtirol and signed a three-year contract.[5]
He immediately established himself as a regular starter within the Tyrolean team, becoming one of the most highly-rated young midfielders in the league and helping his side reaching the promotion play-offs, where Südtirol eventually lost on aggregate to Karić's former team Avellino in the quarter-finals.[1]
The midfielder played his last game for Südtirol on August 28, 2021, coming in as a substitute for Marco Beccaro in the 62nd minute of the 1-0 win against Virtus Verona, the opening game of the 2021-22 season of Serie C.
Virtus Entella
On 31 August 2021, the deadline day of the summer transfer window, it was announced that Karić had agreed to join Virtus Entella on a permanent basis, thus setting himself for his third consecutive experience in Serie C.[6]
