Basel

Itten signed a three-year junior professional contract on 21 August 2015 and joined Basel's first team for their 2015–16 season under head coach Urs Fischer. After playing in two test games, Itten played his domestic league debut for the club in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 21 February 2016 as Basel won 5–1 against Vaduz. Itten played the assist as Birkir Bjarnason scored the last goal of the game. He scored his first league goal for his club on 13 February in the away game in the Cornaredo as Basel won 4–1 against Lugano. It was the team's fourth goal, scored just before half time. With the team Itten won the Swiss Super League championship at the end of the 2015–16 Super League season. For the club it was the seventh title in a row and their 19th championship title in total.

Luzern (loan)

On 18 June 2016, Basel announced that they were loaning out Itten to FC Luzern, until the end of the 2016–17 Swiss Super League season, so that he could gain more first team playing experience. Itten had a successful season scoring three goals in 28 appearances. Then, on 23 June 2017 Basel announced that they were prolonging their contract…

On 15 November 2019, Itten made his debut in the Switzerland national team, coming as a substitute in a 1–0 win over Georgia and scoring the only goal of the match. Three days later, he scored twice in a 6–1 win over Gibraltar. On 20 May 2026, Itten was selected in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
