Club career
Early career
Bašić went through the ranks of NK Zagreb before signing for Hajduk Split in 2014, the same generation as Fran Tudor.[3] However, he remained in Zagreb, having been immediately sent on loan to the Druga HNL club Rudeš for the remainder of the season. The beginning of the 2015–16 season saw him playing for Hajduk Split, balancing between the main and reserve squads. Bašić made his first team league debut on 10 August 2015 in a 1–2 away victory against Lokomotiva, coming in for Andrija Balić in the 84th minute.[4]
In August 2018, Bašić joined Ligue 1 club Bordeaux for €3.5 million on a four-year contract.[5] He debuted on 12 August in a 2–0 home defeat against Strasbourg, coming on in 72nd minute for Aurélien Tchouaméni.[6] On 19 December, he scored his first goal for the club in a Coupe de la Ligue match against Dijon that ended in a 1–0 victory.[7]
Italy
On 25 August 2021, Bašić signed for Serie A club Lazio.[8] He made his debut on 12 September in a 2–0 defeat against Milan, coming on in 74th minute for Sergej Milinković-Savić.[9] He scored his debut goal on 30 September in a Europa League 2–0 victory against Lokomotiv Moscow.[10]
On 17 January 2024, Bašić moved on loan to Salernitana until the end of the season.[11]
International career
Bašić was selected to Nenad Gračan's 23-man squad for UEFA Under-21 Euro 2019, remaining an unused substitute throughout the tournament as Croatia finished last in their group.[12]
On 4 November 2020, Bašić received his first call-up to the Croatian senior team by head coach Zlatko Dalić for matches that same month against Turkey, Sweden, and Portugal.[13] Bašić debuted on 11 November, playing the last 30 minutes in a friendly 3–3 draw against the former opponent, in which he broke the ball.[14]
On 17 May 2021, Bašić was included in Dalić's preliminary 34-man squad for the UEFA Euro 2020;[15] however, he did not make the final 26.[16]
Personal life
Bašić was born and raised in the Dubrava neighborhood of Zagreb, and was a fan of Hajduk Split through his father, who is originally from Pirovac in Dalmatia.[17][3] He has a twin brother Jakov, who is also a footballer.[18]
