Read Time:2 Minute, 13 Second

Bojan Krkic was once regarded as one of the most promising young players in the world, with many expecting him to surpass recent World Cup winner Lionel Messi.

Bojan Krkic, the former FC Barcelona younstar is now set for return to Spain to continue his career.

Bojan‘s career, however, has been very disappointing since his time at Barcelona. His stints at Roma, Stoke City, and CF Montreal were highlights of his career, but he never found form at any club. He has most recently been working for Vissel Kobe in Japan.

His time in Japan, however, will come to an end, as the Spaniard has decided not to renew his contract with the J1 League club. As a result, he will embark on a new adventure in search of his tenth club of his career. A trio of La Liga clubs are interested in the 32-year-old.

Elche want to sign Bojan as they try to avoid relegation to Spain’s second division. However, they will face competition from Espanyol and Girona for his signature.

Wherever Bojan Krkic ends up, there will be a lot of hope that he can salvage something from his fledgling career. He will hope that returning to his homeland will provide the spark needed to rekindle his fortunes.

About Bojan
