Swiss media have published intriguing news regarding the Croatian Football Federation (HNS), drawing comparisons to the case of Ivan Rakitić when Croatia successfully convinced him to play for their national team. The reports claim that HNS is working on 'stealing' 19-year-old talent David Vujević, a defender for Zurich. Vujević holds both Swiss and Croatian citizenship and is considered one of Switzerland's top emerging talents of his generation.

In addition to interest from HNS, clubs like Parma and Torino have also shown interest in Vujević, who dreams of wearing the Croatian national team jersey. He has made nine appearances for Zurich in the Swiss league and has been a standout performer. The Swiss Football Association is keen to retain Vujević due to his potential, and they are reportedly making efforts to keep him in their development pipeline, which may include a call-up from the Swiss national coach in the near future.

This situation mirrors previous similar instances, and Vujević's decision could have significant implications for both national teams. Should he choose to play for Croatia, it would not only strengthen the Croatian defense but also be a testament to the ongoing rivalry for young talent between these two nations, heightening the importance of dual nationality in sports today.
