Bruno Petković

Calcio Catania

On 27 August 2012, Petković officially transferred to Calcio Catania. The transfer fee involved was undisclosed, though Petković was inserted directly into the club's youth academy following his arrival. His first call-up to the senior squad arrived on 27 January 2013, in a 2–1 home victory over Fiorentina in league play. His league debut came on the final matchday of the 2012–13 Serie A campaign, when he appeared as an 89th minute substitute in a 2–2 away draw with Torino. Ahead of the 2013–14 Serie A season, Petković was officially promoted to the first team, and assigned the number 32 jersey.

Trapani and Bologna

In January 2016, Petković moved to Serie B side Trapani. He scored seven goals in the second round of the Serie B season, as the Sicilian team nearly gained promotion to Serie A, failing only in the final play-off match against Pescara. The following season he scored three goals in the first round of the 2016–17 Serie B season. On 12 January 2017, Petković was purchased by Serie A team Bologna, for 1.2 million euros. He made a total of 21 Serie A appearances for the team before being loaned to Hellas Verona on 11 January 2018.

Dinamo Zagreb

2018–19 season

On 6 August 2018, he joined Dinamo Zagreb on a season-long loan with Dinamo holding an obligation to buy his contract out at the end of the loan if certain conditions are met. On 25 August, he scored his first hat trick for Dinamo in a 3–0 home win over…

Youth

At youth level, he was not capped as he was not good enough for Croatia U21.

Senior

Petković received his first senior Croatia call-up as a replacement for the injured Marko Livaja, for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Hungary in March 2019. On 21 March, he debuted in a 2–1 victory against the former opponent. Petković scored his first goal for the national team on 11 June in a friendly loss to Tunisia. Petković turned out to be instrumental to Croatia's successful UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, scoring four goals and assisting one. However, following the tournament's postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Petković was heavily criticized for his inefficiency in the national team during Croatia's disappointing 2020–21 Nations League campaign where they managed to win only three points in six games. In the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarter-final on 9 December, Petković scored the equalizing goal against Brazil to take the game to penalties.

Petković was born in Metković, Croatia. His father Jakov Petković hails from Metković and his mother Ruža Nižić is a Herzegovinian Croat from Crveni Grm near Ljubuški. His childhood football idols were Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimović. He began his youth career with his hometown clubs ONK Metković and NK Neretva, before he went to Dinamo Zagreb in 2007. He remained there until 4 September 2009, when he transferred across town to the youth academy of city rivals NK Zagreb. In the next two seasons, he represented NK HAŠK (2010–11) and Hrvatski Dragovoljac (2011–12), prior to his transfer to Italy, with Serie A side, Catania.

On 3 April 2021, Petković and his partner Iva Šarić became parents of a baby boy, whom they named Adrian. Petković is an active amateur chess player and he regularly participates in humanitarian chess tournaments organised by Croatian chess grandmaster and Vice President of European Chess Union, Alojzije Janković. Petković was an inspiration for a scene in the first episode of RTL Televizija's comedy drama show San snova, where Marko Braić's character's reaction to being interviewed by reporters was identical to that of Petković from the Zagreb Airport in 2022.
