Player Info

Alen Halilović is a Croatian attacking midfielder whose career has been a compelling narrative of prodigious talent and searching for consistency. Born on June 18, 1996, the 29-year-old currently plays for Fortuna Sittard in the Dutch Eredivisie. Tipped for superstardom from a young age, Halilović became Dinamo Zagreb's youngest-ever debutant and goalscorer as a teenager, earning a high-profile move to Barcelona. His time at the Catalan giant, including spells with the B team and loans to clubs like Sporting Gijón and Las Palmas, showcased flashes of his sublime dribbling and playmaking but lacked stability. Subsequent moves to AC Milan, Standard Liège, and Birmingham City followed before he found a home in the Netherlands. At his best, Halilović is a mesmerizing talent with a low center of gravity, capable of gliding past defenders and scoring spectacular goals. He has won league titles in Croatia and was part of Croatia's squad that finished as runners-up at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, a monumental team honor. Now, with Fortuna Sittard, he is rediscovering his form, using his vast experience and undeniable skill to be a key player, reminding everyone of the magic that made him a teenage sensation.
