Barcelona have confirmed the signing of rising star Alen Halilovic from Dinamo Zagreb.
The attacking midfielder has long been on the radar of a number of major European clubs, with Manchester City among those credited with an interest in the past, before Barca stepped up their interest in the player earlier this season after sending a delegation to Croatia to thrash out a deal.
The reigning Liga champions have now finally won the race for the 17-year-old's signature, agreeing a five-year contract with the Dinamo academy product for an initial fee of €2.2 million, which could yet rise based on incentives.
"It's difficult to find the words to describe how I feel," Halilovic told Barca's official website. "Many thanks to Dinamo, who will always remain with me as my first love and as the club where I first began to realise my dreams.
