Marin Pongracic is a physically imposing centre-back known for his aggression, aerial dominance, and a temperament that occasionally tips into recklessness. After spells at Red Bull Salzburg and Wolfsburg, he had a strong loan season at Lecce before joining Fiorentina in 2024, where he has been a commanding presence in Serie A. For Croatia, he offers a different profile to the more technical defenders in the squad — direct, combative, and dominant in the box. His ability to defend deep and win second balls makes him valuable when Croatia need to protect a lead.
