Nikola Vlašić

Nikola Vlašić, born on October 4, 1997, is a talented Croatian professional footballer who currently plays as an attacking midfielder for Torino in the Italian Serie A and represents the Croatia national team.

Hailing from a distinguished Croatian sports family, Nikola's football journey began at the Hajduk Split academy, where he honed his skills and made a significant impact. He made his senior debut in the summer of 2014, quickly gaining recognition and earning a spot on The Guardian's Next Generation list later that year.

In 2017, Vlašić's impressive performances caught the attention of Everton, leading to a transfer. However, after a challenging season in the Premier League, he was loaned to CSKA Moscow, where his talent shone brightly, resulting in a permanent move to the Russian club.

On the international stage, Nikola made his debut for the Croatian national team in 2017. He became a regular fixture in the squad following Croatia's remarkable run in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Since then, he has proudly represented his country at major tournaments, including UEFA Euro 2020, the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and Euro 2024.
