Hajduk is rubbing their hands with glee as Niko Sigur, the 21-year-old footballer born in Vancouver, shines in the Canadian national team! Just a year ago, Sigur was on the verge of joining the Croatian national team, but he chose to represent Canada instead, stirring up quite the controversy. At the recent CONCACAF Gold Cup, Sigur scored a goal against Honduras and assisted in the victory over El Salvador, earning a spot in the tournament’s Best XI for the group stage. Hajduk has slapped an eight million euro price tag on this versatile player who can cover multiple positions on the field. Italian club Atalanta is reportedly interested, and given their reputation for not splurging recklessly, this could be a smart investment. Zlatko Dalić once hailed Sigur as the future of Croatian football, but the young star never received an official call-up, leading to negative media and fan backlash. Sigur has openly spoken about the insults and pressure he faced but remains firm in his decision to play for Canada. Now, Hajduk stands to make a hefty profit from this diamond in the rough. Will Atalanta meet the asking price? Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – Sigur is shining brighter than ever, and Poljud is counting the cash! What do you think about his choice? Did Croatia miss out or did Canada just score big? Drop your thoughts and let the debate begin!
