This Kid Was BETTER Than Messi – But What Ever Happened? The Story of Alen Halilovic
Alen Halilović. Quite a familiar name, right? We bet you have heard it somewhere!
Yep, it’s the same guy who was predicted to have an incredibly successful career!
“New Messi”, “Croatian Messi”, “Balkan Messi”, “new Modric”, “heir of Modric”…
How only he was not named and what predictions he was not given?
“One day this guy will definitely win the Ballon d’Or!”, “Remember the name – this is Alen Halilović. You will be mentioning this name a lot in the future!”, “Messi? Forget about Messi! You haven’t seen this Croatian boy in action yet!” and… blah-blah-blah.
Where is Messi, and where is Halilović? Where is Alen now? In Croatian SuperSport HNL club Rijeka! How did he end up there and how did life lead him to this point?.. What went wrong and why did everyone forget about him?.. Why did Halilović never make full use of his insane potential?
Interesting topic, isn’t it? We thought the same thing and decided to give answers in this video just for you!

Hi
Give your like if you wish Alen Halilovic new football reborn!
Wow 😳😳 so many clubs
He had the potential of lionel messi but turned out to be lingard
Alen's number was number 30 at Barca no wonder Messi wanted number 30 at PSG
its the press that ruined him
There are so many Messi's came and went. But there is and will be only one Messi
Remember him carrying my fifa 17 chelsea career mode.I would have loved to see him at the top level
He seems like a great player at 16 years of age wish him all the best
He's actually from my long family
not even playing that good for my club now
talent can only get u so far
He wasn't ready for top league football he got no fight in him
AS Milan? Really? Reallyy???
which position did he played again ??
there will only be one messi, messi
Ac milan, not as
This guy had more transfers than my age😂😂
Maybe he'll became a new Messi,,,,but he can't do a thing like Messi did in Barca
No one can compare with GOAT
His dad screwed him up,,his dad wanted money,,,if he was smart he would have had his son develop more physically and then move on
Seriously is it really pronounced AS Milan by Italian or is this guy drunk?
They said the same about Bojan and Riqui Puig. Where is Puig now? Playing at LA Galaxy, that's supposed to be a club where you end your career. Talent is not enough to be the goat, he's got the mindset too.
Messi es más s fino más puro en el futbol esmas preciso este muchacho croata juega bien pero no al nivel de Messi.
You said Croatian why didn't you say Croatian Alan that means Messi will always be Messi and Alan will. Always be Alan period
All the best Allen. We know you have qualities. Never give up.
I remember his season at Sporting Gijon. His marked value double after his season there. After that it only went downwards.
his getting worse wtf he was so good what a waste of pure talent
He was valued at 170 m in 2024 in fifa 17 and his ovr was 95
He ruined his career when he moved to Barcelona. He has the potential and need to keep developing at Zagreb because there is no chance he can break into the 1st team. This happened to high potential kids who joined big clubs at a tender age only to fall short later.
I remember in my Soccer Manager 2018-2020 games,I would sign him and give him the Captainsy like forever.
I loved the kid,since I adore Modric and he was the younger version.
Please boy,you can do better!
he still has time tho becous hes only 25-27 preaty young and if he can fill his potentional in next 3 years and get back on the feet it will be great
