About the player
Karlo Bartolec came through Dinamo Zagreb's academy, working his way from the under-16s to the under-19s over several seasons in the Croatian capital. Rather than sign a professional contract with Dinamo, he chose to join the senior squad at NK Lokomotiva Zagreb in February 2014.
His move to Denmark's FC Nordsjælland in 2016 preceded a more prominent switch three years later, when F.C. Copenhagen paid a reported €2.7 million for him. He spent two seasons in the Danish capital before returning south, sold to NK Osijek in 2021. A brief spell at Hungary's Puskás Akadémia FC followed in early 2023, before he went back to Lokomotiva Zagreb that August on a free transfer.
Bartolec earned his first Croatia cap on 15 October 2018 in a 2–1 friendly win over Jordan, and went on to start in all five of his appearances for the national side. Those came in friendlies against Tunisia and Georgia as well as UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against Slovakia and Azerbaijan, spread across 2018 and 2019.
He joined FC Astana on a free transfer, signing a contract that runs into 2026, and wears the number 2 shirt at his new club.
