Playing Style
A versatile central midfielder used as a box-to-box runner or in a more advanced role, Pasalic has a knack of arriving late in the area to chip in with goals and assists for Atalanta, an honest, energetic presence in midfield. He stands 1.88 m, is right-footed, and has played 1,685 minutes this season.
World Cup History
The 2026 finals are not Mario Pasalic's first senior World Cup but his second. He was part of the squad in 2022, and Dalić keeps the late-arriving midfield runner in his group, an option who can add a goal threat from deep and break beyond the strikers when Croatia push.
