Alen Haliloviu0107 has publicly said it was a mistake leaving for Hamburger SV back in 2016.

The Croatian midfielder now plays for Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie, but he was once tipped as a future world star.

He made his debut for Dinamo Zagreb at just 16 years old, and then signed for Barcelona B.

Tottenham wanted to buy me but Barcelona was for my style. They were about possession and the ball at your feet. The first year I was to play Barca B, then they would loan me to La Liga and in the third year they would decide,” he said in a new interview.
