He felt a great gratitude towards FC Barcelona, where Krkic came to as a 9-year-old, but had to “be realistic”. For a long time he had had the feeling that the moment had come to hang up his shoes. In 2007, the native Catalonian with Serbian roots made the leap to becoming a professional at FCB. Four strong years followed and a €12m move to AS Roma, from where he returned to Barça two years and a loan to Milan later for roughly the same amount.
Krkic only stayed in Mainz briefly in the 2016/17 season, on loan from Stoke City, because the “zero fives” “didn’t have the opportunity to present a purchase option”, said Rouven Schröder, the FSV official at the time. Eleven appearances with one goal and one assist jumped out at the Bundesliga club, the fewest in all of its nine professional clubs. Most recently, the two-time Champions League winner has been on the ball with Andrés Iniesta’s Vissel Kobe club in Japan since 2021.
