Club career

Early career

Barišić started playing football at Croatian club Hajduk Split, before joining Dinamo Zagreb's youth academy in 2014. A year later, he moved to Split's youth setup. In 2018, he switched to Osijek's youth academy. He made his professional debut against Varaždin on 2 May 2021 at the age of 19.[2]

In January 2022, he was loaned to Italian side Frosinone until the end of season.[3] On 12 March, he scored his first professional goal in a triumph over Alessandria.[4]

Basel

In August 2023, Barišić was transferred to Swiss outfit Basel for an undisclosed fee.[5] The club confirmed the deal on 18 August and a few days later he joined Basel's first team for their 2023–24 season under head coach Timo Schultz.[6] Barišić played his domestic league debut for the club in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 3 September. Despite the fact that he accidentally scored an own goal, Basel pulled the game back and they played a 2–2 draw with Zürich.[7][8] He immediately became regular starter and remained regular in the starting eleven, even after the change of head coach to Fabio Celestini.

The club announced, on 3 November, that during the Swiss Cup third round match against SC Kriens on 1 November, Barišić been substituted out due to a knee injury, but that the MRI examinations had shown there were no serious injuries. However they added, the team would have to do without its central defender for a number of weeks. Barišić returned on 9 December, making an appearance as substitute, late in the match.[9]

In May 2023, he received his first senior call-up, for UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers against Portugal and Luxembourg.[11] He debuted against the former on 17 June.[12]
