Dinamo Zagreb
Born in Zagreb, Marin started his youth career with ZET, before signing for the academy of Dinamo Zagreb in 2009.[1][4] In spite of being strongly linked to AC Milan, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus in September 2017,[5] he signed a three-year long professional contract with the club on 9 October 2017.[4] On 19 May 2018, he made his first team debut, replacing Petar Stojanović in a 3–1 victory over Inter Zaprešić.[6]
On 12 March 2019, in a UEFA Youth League round of 16 game against Liverpool, he provided Leon Šipoš with an assist for the equalizer. The game ended as a 1–1 draw and saw Dinamo win 5–4 on penalties.[7] On 3 April, in a quarter-final against Chelsea, he netted a brace to put Dinamo two up; however, Chelsea came from behind with Luke McCormick's brace and defeated Dinamo 4–2 on penalties.[8] On 11 December, in another Youth League campaign, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 victory over Manchester City and secured Dinamo's spot in the play-offs.[9]
After the departure of Dani Olmo in January 2020, Marin inherited his number 7 shirt.[10] On 6 June 2020, he scored his first senior goal for Dinamo in a 3–1 win over Varaždin.[11]
Loan to Monza
On 1 October 2020, Marin was sent on a one-year loan to newly-promoted Serie B side Monza, with an option for purchase which becomes an obligation under certain conditions.[12] He made his debut on 7 November,[13] coming on as a substitute for Dany Mota in a 2–0 home victory over Frosinone.[14] His loan ended in January 2021, as he was dissatisfied with his playtime.[15]
Loan to Lokomotiva
On 4 February 2021, he moved on loan to Lokomotiva.[16]
Loan to Šibenik
In June 2021, Marin joined Šibenik on a season-long loan.[17]
Loan on Rijeka
In December 2022, Marin was loaned out to Rijeka by Dinamo Zagreb on a short-term deal.[18]
Olimpija Ljubljana
On 17 January 2024, Marin signed for reigning Slovenian PrvaLiga champions Olimpija Ljubljana on a three-year contract following the termination of his contract with Dinamo Zagreb.[19] In his second appearance for the club on 17 February, he scored a brace against Radomlje in a 3–1 win, but suffered a knee injury and had to undergo surgery.[20]
Although Marin generally plays as a winger, his versatility in attack makes him adept both as a second striker and a striker.[21] He is known for his speed, dribbling abilities and skill in set pieces.[5]
