Nermin Karic (born 23 June 1999) is a Swedish football player of Bosnian descent, who plays for Virtus Entella as a defensive midfielder.

Club Career

The beginnings: Genoa and Avellino

Born in Norrkoping, Karic 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.

On 22 August 2019, Karic joined Serie C club Avellino on a season-long loan.

He subsequently made his professional debut for Avellino on 7 September 2019, during a game against Teramo. He substituted Julian Illanes in the 70th minute and scored his first professional goal 4 minutes later, establishing the final score of 2–0.

Sudtirol

On 13 August 2020, Karic joined fellow Serie C club Sudtirol and signed a three-year contract.

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 Sudtirol eventually lost on aggregate to Karic's former team Avellino in the quarter-finals.

The midfielder played his last game for Sudtirol on August 28, 2021, coming in as a substitute for Marco Beccaro in the 62th 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 Karic had agreed to join Virtus Entella on a permanent basis, thus setting himself for his third consecutive experience in Serie C.
