Robert Berić (born 17 June 1991) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays for French Ligue 1 club AS Saint-Étienne and Slovenia as a striker. In the 2014–15 season he ranked 11th in the European Golden Shoe award.
Club career
Berić started his career in Krško youth teams before being promoted to their main squad in the 2007–08 season. In 2008, he signed for Interblock. He made his debut at Interblock as a substitute in a 2–1 away victory over Drava Ptuj. He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 win over Primorje on 7 December 2008. In total, he played 34 games for Interblock in the Slovenian first division, scoring 12 goals.
In August 2010, Berić joined Maribor together with his teammate Josip Iličić, signing a four-year contract.[2]
In June 2013, he moved to Sturm Graz in Austria for a reported €1 million. In the 2013–14 season, he amassed 10 goals and 11 assists.[3]
In 2014, he left Sturm Graz for league rivals Rapid Wien. The transfer fee was estimated at between €700,00 and 800,000.[3] In his first season, he became the league second goalscorer netting 27 goals in 33 appearances which earned him 11th place in the European Golden Shoe award.[4]
On 31 August 2015, Berić joined Saint-Étienne on a four-year deal[5] while the transfer fee paid to Rapid Wien was reported as €6 or 7.5 million.[6][7] He quickly established himself in the starting lineup and began scoring goals for the club in both the Ligue 1 and the UEFA Europa League campaigns. However, on 8 November during an away match against Lyon, Berić suffered a knee injury which sidelined him for the rest of the season.[6]
