This article reviews the biography of Boyan Krkic.
Childhood
The boy was born on August 28, 1990 in the city of Lignola. His famous father was a professional footballer in the past and played for Belgrade “Tsrevna”. After the end of his football career, he moved to Spain, where he found his love and subsequently married. Since the late 90s, Boyan’s father has been working as a scout in the Catalan Barcelona.
Club career
Thanks to his father, at the age of 9, the boy fell into the structure of the Catalan club. The young footballer played as a striker and was considered one of the most promising Spanish footballers of his generation.
The brisk striker went through the entire structure in the Catalan club, so the debut was not long in coming. Already at the age of 16, Boyan Krkich Perez made his debut for an adult team. It took the footballer only half time to mark the goal scored.
The following season, the Spanish striker signed his first professional contract with a Catalan club at the age of 17. The repurchase amount under the contract was 60 million euros, which was a significant amount for that period of time. In the first season, Boyan shot 10 goals for the main team, which set a new record for the number of goals scored in the debut season, leaving in most cases a substitution.
After only four full seasons, the Italian Roma bought the young striker for the main team of Barcelona. Boyan signed a contract for four years, and the cost of the transfer was 12 million euros. In the contract of the football player, an option was written about the possible return of the football player to the Catalan club in the next two seasons for 13 million euros. For the first and only season, the Spanish striker spent 33 matches, in which he scored seven times.
The following season, the leadership of the Roman club decided to rent the Spanish footballer to Milan.
After his return to Roma, the Catalan club decided to return his pupil, having paid the Romans the amount of 13 million euros prescribed in the contract. In the leadership of the Catalan club, the player was made clear that he would begin to look for a new club to continue his career, since he could not be guaranteed a place in the first team.
In the same season, Boyan goes to Amsterdam Ajax on loan. The Amsterdam club had the opportunity to buy a player at the end of the season, but the leadership of Ajax considered the purchase of the Spanish striker unreasonable due to the nondescript game of the Spaniard. Boyan played 24 matches for the Amsterdam club, mostly coming on as a substitute, and scored 4 times.
The following season, the Catalan “Barcelona” decided to completely get rid of the player, putting him on the transfer. The English Stoke City paid less than 2 million euros by signing a contract with a striker for four seasons. The first two seasons in the English team turned out to be successful, but then the lease to the German “Mainz” and the Spanish “Alaves” followed.
Today Boyan continues to play for Stoke City, which, according to the results of the last season, flew to the Championship.
Career Team
For the first time they learned about young talent at the European Championship, where the Spanish striker took first place in the list of scorers, scoring five goals. Despite his age, the striker played almost all the matches in the starting lineup. The following year, the Spanish footballer Boyan Krkic went with the national team to a similar tournament, where he was able to distinguish himself only twice.
As part of the adult team, Boyan made his debut in 2008, but spent only one match.
