The revelation that Alen Halilovic, set to join FC Barcelona in the upcoming summer transfer window, is a confirmed fan of Real Madrid has caused a stir among Catalan supporters eagerly awaiting his arrival.
A photo surfaced on Friday, published by Actusports.fr, displaying a tattoo on Halilovic’s wrist dedicated to Real Madrid, the sworn enemy of Barcelona. The tattoo prominently features the phrase “Hala Madrid,” leaving little doubt about the young Croatian’s allegiance to the Merengues.
This unexpected revelation raises questions about how Halilovic will be received at Camp Nou upon his arrival. Barcelona fans, who have been anticipating his addition to their squad, may find it challenging to embrace a player with such strong ties to their arch-rivals.
Halilovic’s transfer to Barcelona next July promises to be an intriguing storyline, as fans await his introduction to the Blaugrana faithful and his integration into the squad amidst this revelation.
