The demand for the kid's signature is huge from all accounts. Also you can't really turn down over 10 million quid for a 16 year old if you are a Croatian league team.
I think you probably could turn down that money, I'm pretty sure a major Croatian club like Hadjuk Split doesn't think we better sell him now in case he isn't very good at all in two years time.
You can't sign a contract in Croatia for the duration over the age of 18. Once he's 18 he's a free agent and he can leave for free, so now is a good time to sell for Hajduk. And Vuskovic would help his club and get them some decent money for Croatian league.
Cheers, I guess that's the same here where players only sign a professional contract at 18 I think but that does make sense as it is even more important for a Croatia league club.
This always happens with things related to football. Figures get misquoted.
I'm just happy to see us buying young, coveted players from all over the world again because we let the academy drift for far too long.
Yeah he was born in 2007, likely just a mistype though to be fair.
Indeed. Paratici has worked wonders with this. Been telling you all for 2+ years how much he has revolutionised the youth set up, and especially identifying young talent from elsewhere and bringing them in.
For a club of our stature one rung down from the elite these are exactly the type of deals we should be targeting -back to the two tier recruitment approach that i've no doubts will serve us well in the short, medium and long term.
They badly want Peresic asap
