He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 win over Primorje on 7 December 2008. In total, he has played 34 games for Interblock in the Slovenian first division, where he scored 12 goals.

In August 2010 he moved to Maribor together with his teammate Josip Iličić, where he signed a four-year contract with the club.[2]

In June 2013 he moved to Sturm Graz in Austria. In 2014 he moved to Rapid Wien. In his first season he became the league second goalscorer netting 27 goals in 33 appearances.

On 31 August 2015, Berić joined Saint-Étienne on four-year deal[3] reportedly worth around €7 million. He quickly established himself in the starting lineup and began scoring goals for the club in both the Ligue 1 and the UEFA Europa League campaigns. However, on 8 November during an away match against Lyon, Berić suffered a knee injury which sidelined him for the rest of the season.
