Club career
Olimpija Ljubljana
In June 2012, Šporar transferred from Interblock to Olimpija Ljubljana.[2] In the 2015–16 Slovenian PrvaLiga season, Šporar was named a team captain.[3] During the first half of the club's season, he played 18 PrvaLiga games and scored 17 goals.[4]
Basel
On 8 December 2015, Basel announced that Šporar had signed a four-and-a-half-year contract up until the end of June 2020.[5] He joined Basel's first team for their 2015–16 season under head coach Urs Fischer. After playing in four friendly games, he made his Swiss Super League debut on 14 February 2016 in a 4–0 away win against Grasshopper Club.[6] Just a few days later, on 18 February, Šporar got injured during warm-up before the away match against Saint-Étienne. The torn tendon required surgery and this kept Šporar out for the rest of the season.[7] At the end of the season his team won the 2015–16 Swiss Super League championship.[8]
Šporar scored his first goal for Basel on 15 April 2017 in a 4–0 away victory over Lausanne-Sport.[9] At the end of the 2016–17 Super League season, Šporar won the championship for the second time. For the club this was the eighth title in a row and their 20th championship title in total.[10] They also won the 2016–17 Swiss Cup, defeating Sion 3–0 in the final.[11]
Despite this success, Šporar decided to leave the club. He played a total of 26 competitive games for Basel, and scored one goal.[12]

Sporting
On 23 January 2020, Šporar transferred to Sporting CP on a five-year contract for a transfer fee of €6 million, making him the most expensive player in the history of the Slovak Super Liga.[17] With bonuses, the total transfer fee may eventually rise above €7 million.[18]
