Club career

Inter Milan

After making his debut in the Croatian second tier for his hometown club Zadar in the 2015–16 season at the age of 16, he joined Italian club Inter Milan, where he was assigned to the Under-19 team.[1] He won the Campionato Nazionale Primavera with the team. He also was the top scorer of the 2017 Torneo di Viareggio with 6 goals.[2]

Torino

For the 2017–18 season, he joined another Italian club Torino, again being assigned to the Under-19 team. He won the Coppa Italia Primavera with the squad and also became the team's best scorer of the season with 20 goals. He was called up for the main squad on several occasions in March and April 2018 for Serie A games, but did not see any playing time.[3]

Loan to Ternana

On 27 August 2018, he joined Serie C club Ternana on loan for the 2018–19 season.[4] He made his Serie C debut for Ternana on 30 September 2018 in a game against Vis Pesaro as a 70th-minute substitute for Guido Marilungo.[5]

Butić played regularly in his first season, collecting 31 appearances and scoring four goals, one of which helped Pordenone gain a 2-0 home win against Cosenza in the last league fixture, as the club consequently secured his permanence in the second tier.[9] Following his good performances, Butić reached an agreement with Pordenone to extend his contract until 2024.[9]
