Halilovic, who has been linked with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United in the past, became the youngest player to represent the Croatian national side.



The 17-year-old dubbed as the " Next Luka Modric" looks set to join the Catalans in the summer after Zagreb accepted an initial offer £5 million plus future incentives based on the player's development.



Halilovic has been capped thrice by the Croatian senior side.
