Official: Halilovic joins Sporting

Sporting Gijon have completed the signing of attacking midfielder Alen Halilovic from Barcelona on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old had been linked with the La Liga new boys following Barca B's relegation to Segunda B, and the move has now been confirmed by both clubs.

He is expected to be presented by Sporting after Saturday morning's training session, which will commence at 10:30 CET.

Halilovic made his Blaugrana debut last January against Elche in the Copa del Rey and became Croatia's youngest-ever international when he won his first cap, aged just 16, against Portugal in 2013.
