"Barcelona" announced on their official website that this summer the club's academy will be joined by the talented Alen Halilović. The 17-year-old football player had reached a verbal agreement with the Catalan team earlier, but his signature was also sought by other famous European teams. According to reports, the star from Zagreb's "Dinamo" signed a five-year contract with "Barca", with a transfer fee of 2.2 million euros. "It's hard to find words to describe how I feel right now," said A. Halilović. "I want to say a big thank you to 'Dinamo', for whom I am grateful for everything." "Of course, 'Barcelona' is something special. It is a club that I have liked since childhood, so it is a huge honor for me to be a player for this team," concluded the Croatian known as the "Balkan Messi." A. Halilović made his debut in the UEFA Champions League at the age of 16. This season he scored 4 goals in 31 matches played.
