Omić started his career with SV Ried in 2011, staying at the club until January 2017, when he joined Red Bull Salzburg's academy, aged 13.[1][2]
In 2019, Omić moved to Juventus, where he initially played for their Under-16 side.[2] The following season, he was promoted to the Under-17s: upon his return from an injury, he was also given the captain's armband.[2] He ended the 2019–20 season scoring six goals in nine appearances.[2] For the 2020-2021 season, Omić was promoted to the Under-19 side, where he played 25 games without scoring goals.[2] In the 2021–22 season, he made 33 appearances for the Italian side,[3] and helped them reach the UEFA Youth League semifinals, their best-ever placement in the competition.[4]
On 16 March 2022, Omić made his professional debut with Juventus U23 — the reserve team of the Italian club — , coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute of a 2–1 defeat against Lecco.[5]
On 18 June 2022, Omić joined the Austrian club Wolfsberger AC on a permanent deal, signing a three-year contract.[6]
Omić is eligible to represent both Austria and Bosnia and Herzegovina at international level.[2]
As a youth international, he has given his allegiance to the former country, having played at all youth levels until the Under-19 national team.[1]
In June 2022, he was included in the squad that represented Austria at the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Slovakia.[7]
A right-footed and well-rounded midfielder, Omić can play both in more defensive or more attacking positions, as well as a centre-back. He has also been praised for his skills as a penalty and free-kick taker.[2]
He cited Miralem Pjanić as his main role model.[2]
