Sučić started playing football at a local club, before joining Iskra Bugojno's youth setup in 2018. In 2020, he switched to Zrinjski Mostar's youth academy. In January 2022, he signed a five-year deal with Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb.[1]

In June, he was sent on a season-long loan to his former team Zrinjski Mostar.[2] He made his professional debut in a UEFA Champions League qualifier against Sheriff Tiraspol on 6 July at the age of 18.[3]

Sučić made his official debut for Dinamo Zagreb in the 2023 Croatian Super Cup game against their biggest rivals Hajduk Split on 15 July 2023 and managed to win his first trophy.[4] A week later, he made his league debut against the same opponent.[5]

In December 2023, he extended his contract with the club until June 2028.[6] In May 2025, on the last match day of the Croatian League, Sučić scored the game winner in a 1–0 win against Varaždin, his last game for Dinamo.

On 4 June 2025, Sučić joined Serie A club Inter Milan, signing a five-year contract worth €14 million transfer.[7] He made his Inter debut on 17 June impressing in a 1–1 draw with Monterrey in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage, substituting Kristjan Asllani in the 68th minute.[8] In his second season, they won the Serie A title and Italian Cup titles in 2026.[9]
