Croatia courts Schalke talent Vozar for national team call-up

On the training ground of FC Schalke 04 stands the 19‑year‑old Luca Vozar, the youngest Schalke talent Vozar, who has risen within a few months from U19 captain to a Bundesliga professional profile. After signing a contract until 2029 in the summer, the Croatian football association newspaper reported growing interest in the defensive midfielder.

Rapid development and contract commitment

Vozar, who has been a member of the club since his third month of life and has been wearing the royal‑blue jersey since the U9 level, made his Bundesliga debut on the second matchday against FC Bayern. The young midfielder quickly established himself as a key player, while coach Miron Muslic described him as “the future of S04”.

Market value and external inquiries

Luca Vozar's market value is listed at €800 k. In the summer, several inquiries came from the 2. Bundesliga, but a departure was not an option for the left‑footed player. Still without a DFB international cap, he remains attractive to the Croatian squad because he has Croatian roots.

Muslic, who frequently uses the word “Youngster”, emphasized: “We are very happy with his development. We have taken a complete player from the U19 and want to develop and build him up as best as possible.” The coach also highlighted that Vozar has not yet been used for the DFB youth selection.

Another example of dual nationality is Soufiane El‑Faouzi, who was recently called up by Morocco for mandatory matches. Should he play there, a later switch to the DFB would no longer be possible, which further complicates the decision for young talents like Vozar.
