Robert Berić was born June 17, 1991, in Krško, SR Slovenia, SFR Yugoslavia. He is a forward in the MLS. 

On August 31, 2015, Berić joined Saint-Étienne on a four-year deal while the transfer fee paid to Rapid Wien was reported as €6 or 7.5 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  November 8, 2015 during an away Ligue 1 match against Lyon, Berić suffered a knee injury that sidelined him for the rest of the season. During his time at Saint-Étienne, Berić received the nickname "Terminator". On August 30, 2017, Berić joined Anderlecht on a one-year loan. Saint-Étienne recalled Berić from his loan spell at Anderlecht on January 1, 2018. On April 22, 2018, Berić came off the bench at the start of the second half and scored twice as Saint-Étienne came from behind to beat ESTAC Troyes 2–1 in a home Ligue 1 match. On May 18, 2019, Berić scored twice as Saint-Étienne defeated OGC Nice 3–0 in a home Ligue 1 match to secure a top-four finish and qualification for the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League.

On 18 January 2020, Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire announced that it had acquired Berić via a transfer deal from Saint-Étienne, and that he had signed for the club as a Designated Player. Berić netted in his debut against the Seattle Sounders, but failed to win the game, losing 2–1.
