It has been a month since FotbollDirekt reported on great interest in Halmstad BK’s Bleon Kurtulus.
Yesterday he made his Allsvenskan debut as a 16-year-old, in HBK’s clash against Hammarby.
Now FD can reveal that all major Allsvenskan clubs are showing interest in the 16-year-old.
Halmstad beat Hammarby last night 2-1 and young Bleon Kurtulus was let in ten minutes before the end.
Afterwards it was emotional, tearful.
“That’s when it broke out. To stand there with my brother and hug him after the game, after we won. That’s it”.
And trust that the interest in the young centre-back is now accordingly.
All Allsvenskan clubs are said to be keeping an eye on this Bleon.
It is about foreign clubs and, according to FD’s information, about the likes of Malmö FF, Djurgården, AIK, IFK Gothenburg and Hammarby.
According to FotbollDirekt’s sources, the interest from sporting director Mikael Hjelmberg is a given for the young defender – not least because of older brother Edvin Kurtulu’s success and the fact that he is likely to be sold for big money this summer.
The price is going to be high anyway and the question is whether you look at Brommapojkarna’s deal with Lucas Bergvall to Djurgården (?), which cost upwards of 10 million kroner.
Halmstad’s sporting director Magnus Haglund has previously highlighted for FotbollDirekt what gold nugget he sees.
“We have not received any offers from any other club regarding him”.
“He is one of the country’s best players in his year, so it is clear that he is far ahead”
Earlier, FD also received a statement from HBK’s head of academy about the youngster.
– There have been top Swedish clubs who wanted to sign him, a little more before he signed an agreement with HBK. At that time there were many people who were looking for him, Robert Nordström told FD in March.
Bleon Kurtulus has already been rumored to be relevant for Italian Roma just over a year ago. Both Sportbladet and the Italian media have reported on this.
