Ivan Bašić

Ivan Bašić of Astana was born in Imotski, Croatia on 30 April 2002 (age 24).

Ivan Bašić (born 30 April 2002, age 24) is a Bosnia and Herzegovina central midfielder with Astana. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Orenburg has been the main stretch of his senior career so far. Across three seasons there, Bašić made 71 league appearances and scored four league goals, with his most productive league campaign coming in 2022-23, when he scored twice in 15 appearances. That is the spell that gives the clearest measure of him as an established professional rather than just a player passing through squads.

He is now at Astana, where his 2026 league involvement has yet to begin. He has, however, made four appearances in Conference League qualifying and scored twice. He has also been involved with Bosnia-Herzegovina, with one World Cup appearance and seven European World Cup qualifying appearances this season.

Bašić was linked with a move to Celtic in June 2026 while at Astana. For now, his career is still defined chiefly by Orenburg, with Astana the current stage rather than the body of work.

Bašić did not make a league appearance for Astana in 2026, with no starts, substitute outings or disciplinary record in the competition. His useful output came outside the league – two goals in four Conf League Qual. appearances, plus seven WC Qual. Europe appearances and one World Cup appearance without scoring. That pointed to a player with some external involvement but no established domestic role.

Bašić's senior path took him from Zrinjski Mostar to Orenburg and then Astana by age 24. The trajectory included a paid move in 2022 and a free transfer in 2025, suggesting a career that had gained enough value to attract investment but had not yet settled into a long, clearly defined club spell.

The standout move was Orenburg paying €500,000 to sign Bašić from Zrinjski Mostar in July 2022. His next switch, from Orenburg to Astana in July 2025, was a free transfer, which made the sequence look more like a reset than a fee-driven step up.
