Club career

edit

Prpić started playing football at the age of six at Zagreb,[2] until early 2017, when he moved to Lokomotiva, but, having been scouted by Hajduk Split, he moved to the Dalmatian club that same summer.[2] At Hajduk, he featured regularly for his generation in the following years, and, on 2 June 2022, had his contract with the club extended until the summer of 2025.[3] He was subsequently added to the senior team.[4][5][6] He made his league debut coming in for Stefan Simić in the 2–2 away draw with Slaven Belupo on 12 November 2022.[7] His first game in the starting lineup was the 2–1 win against Šibenik on 22 January 2023.[2]

On 10 July 2025, Prpić moved to Portuguese Primeira Liga club Porto, signing a five-year contract, for a transfer fee of €4.5 million, which could rise to €5.5 million with add-ons, and Hajduk Split keeping a 10% sell-on fee. His release clause was set at €60 million.[8] He made his debut a month later, coming off the bench to replace Jan Bednarek in a 3–0 league victory over Vitória de Guimarães at the Estádio do Dragão.[9]
