FC Barcelona Announce Halilović Transfer

Croatia’s Dinamo Zagreb and FC Barcelona have reached agreement for the transfer of 17-year-old Alen Halilović, the clubs said officially on Thursday…

Halilović has signed a 5-year-deal with FC Barcelona for an initial amount of 2.2 million euros, which will increase if he achieves the objectives of consolidating a position in the first team. The teenage maestro, who turns 18 on June 18, will start out in Barça B.

“I am honoured that I will wear the Barcelona shirt. Thank you Dinamo, my first love. But, before I leave for Barca, I want to win 2 titles (with Dinamo). Barcelona is something special. I have supported them since I started playing football”, said Halilović after the announcement today.

Halilović, who became the youngest player to debut for the Croatian national side, will join Barcelona in the summer.
