Ivan Strinic is a Croatian footballer who plays as a left-back for Serie A club Sampdoria and the Croatia national football team.

Even though he was close to finishing a deal with Dinamo Zagreb, Strinic decided to sign for his youth club Hajduk Split. In season 2009\/2010 he proved himself as the first team regural starter, earning his first call-up for national team as well. In the 2010\/11 season, Strinic played in all of Hajduk's matches in 2010–11 UEFA Europa League campaign. He also became the starting left back in the national side, playing in eight out of nine qualifiers for Euro 2012. He left Hajduk in January 2011 after amassing 77 appearances in all competitions for the Split based side, scoring five goals. On 27 January 2011, Strinic signed with Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. The 2011\/12 season was far better for Ivan as he made 27 appearances in all competitions and played all three games in Croatia's Euro 2012 campaign. The 2012\/13 season was similarly successful for Strinic as he maintained his starting places with both the national side and his club side, amassing 35 appearances for Dnipro in all competitions. Strinic subsequently signed with S.S.C. Napoli, after 112 games over four years with the Ukrainian club. On 31 August 2017, Strinic joined Sampdoria for a reported fee of €2 million.

Strinic received his first call-up for Croatia national football team under manager Slaven Bilic for a friendly match against Austria on 19 May 2010. Since then he has been regular starter for Croatia and the first choice for their left-back position. He was a part of the Croatia national football team on UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland, where he played all three games in group stage. He missed out on the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil due to a hamstring injury.<\/P>","F4645409D3EE42C9":"600","1D8DD001D97C012A":"186cm","4CC9C981935F4DF5":"AC Milan","5588923A723573201F6804A11C3F390A":"23","0108B3B67855A673":"69531","781CC09C30E6A152":"1","38882684D19FD665":"Ivan Strinic","805ACE40479B6E763FB50E182B20A495":"1987-7-17","722D75C33935B48A":"78kg","FCD4DE51CBA4497A941CDE925DCB26D2":"Croatia","7CC3966A9B90B9412F1273E902F0953F":"Sampdoria,Napoli,FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk,Hajduk Split,Hrvatski Dragovoljac,Le Mans B,Hajduk Split (U19)","9CFA5380AB449F58B34CD68741B77812":"2","3D0C18FC6E83B9810B0FAD6BF04C7B64":"2018-7-1","e_index":8};
