His father, also named Bojan, is a [[Serb]], and also a footballer, who played for [[Red Star Belgrade]] and for FK Sutjeska 1927 Niksic in the [[1980s]]. After moving to Spain his father married Maria Lluïsa Pérez, a Spanish nurse,<ref>[http://www.footballdatabase.com/index.php?page=player&Id=8213&pn=Bojan_Krki%C4%87_P%C3%A9rez Bojan Krkić timeline and stats], ''FootballDatabase.com''</ref> and became a scout for Barcelona in 1997. <ref>[http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/05/03/bojan_krkic_europes_most_talen.html Bojan Krkic: Europe's most talented 16-year-old?], ''[[Guardian Unlimited]]'', [[May 3]], [[2007]]</ref>
 
Bojan began his career at [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] after progressing through the youth ranks at [[La Masia]]. His early promise saw him make his first-team debut at the age of 17 years and 19 days, breaking the record set by [[Lionel Messi]]. In his [[2007–08 FC Barcelona season|debut season]], he scored 12 goals in 48 matches. In total, he spent four seasons at [[Camp Nou]], scoring 41 goals in 162 games before he was sold in July 2011 to Italian side [[A.S. Roma|AS Roma]] for a fee of €12 million. While in [[Rome]], he scored seven goals in 37 appearances in [[2011–12 A.S. Roma season|2011–12]] and then spent the [[2012–13 A.C. Milan season|2012–13]] on loan at [[A.C. Milan|AC Milan]], where he scored three goals in 27 games.
== Career ==
=== Early years ===
Played for FC Barcelona's ''[[cantera]]'' from 1999 to 2005, scoring 961 goals in seven years, breaking all previous goal scoring records held at the club's youth levels.<ref> [http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Estero/Primo_Piano/2007/01_Gennaio/17/condo.shtml Clonati Ronaldinho e Messi], ''[[Gazzetta dello Sport]]'', [[January 17]], [[2007]] {{it icon}}</ref> A quick striker, with quite notable [[dribbling]] skills, Bojan played the [[FC Barcelona season 2006-07|2006–07 season]] with the [[FC Barcelona B]] team until he signed a professional contract with the Barcelona A team upon turning 17. Bojan played his first match with Barcelona on [[April 24]], [[2007]], scoring a goal in a [[friendly match]] against [[al-Ahly]]. The match ended with a 4–0 win for Barcelona. Bojan also featured in Barcelona's 2007 pre-season trip to [[Scotland]], where he earned many plaudits as a result of his exciting second-half cameos against [[Dundee United]] and [[Heart of Midlothian F.C.|Hearts]].
 
AS Roma did not exercise their option of an additional €28 million to sign Bojan definitively, and so Barcelona re-signed him for €13 million. He spent the [[2013–14 AFC Ajax season|2013–14]] season on loan at Dutch club [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] with whom he helped win the [[Eredivisie]] title. In July 2014, Bojan joined the English club [[Stoke City F.C.|Stoke City]] for €1.8 million. After subsequent loans to play on the European continent, once for FC Mainz 05 in 2017, and in Spain for Alavés in 2018, Krkić then played in North America for a season for the Montreal Impact, and then finally in Japan for Vissel Kobe for two seasons before being released by his club in January 2023, retiring from professional football two months later.
=== 2007–08 season ===
On [[September 16]] [[2007]], Bojan made his début for FC Barcelona against [[CA Osasuna]], coming on at the 78th minute for [[Giovani Dos Santos]]. Three days later, he made his [[UEFA Champions League]] debut against [[Olympique Lyonnais]], coming on at the 88th minute for [[Lionel Messi]]. He is currently the youngest [[FC Barcelona]] player ever to feature in a Champions League game at 17 years and 22 days.<ref>[http://www.simplybarcelonatickets.com/news/player-profile/player-profile-bojan-krkic.htm Player Profile: Bojan Krkic], ''SimplyBarcelonaTickets.com''</ref> He made his second Champions League appearance on [[2 October]] [[2007]], coming on at the 81st minute for [[Ronaldinho]] against [[VfB Stuttgart|Stuttgart]].
 
As a Spanish youth international, he won European Championships with the [[2007 UEFA European Under-17 Championship|Under-17 team in 2007]] and the [[2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship|Under-21 team in 2011]], as well as earning his only cap for the [[Spain national football team|senior team]] in 2008. He has also represented the [[Catalonia regional football team|Catalan]] national team eight times since 2007.
On [[20 October]] [[2007]], Bojan made his first league start for Barcelona away to [[Villarreal C.F.|Villarreal]] and scored in the 25th minute. It was his first goal for the club's first team and it made him the youngest ever goalscorer for Barcelona in a league match.<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/10/20/sports/EU-SPT-SOC-Spanish-Roundup.php Real Madrid and Barcelona have first Spanish league defeats], ''[[International Herald Tribune]]'', [[October 20]], [[2007]]</ref><ref>[http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/english/noticies/futbol/temporada07-08/10/n071020101276.html Krkic enters the record books], ''FCBarcelona.cat'', [[November 10]], [[2007]] (accessed [[January 18]], [[2008]])</ref>
 
==Club career==
Bojan scored his first ever Champions League goal on [[April 1]] [[2008]] against [[Schalke 04]] in the first leg of the quarter finals and the only one to score in the match which gave Barça a 1–0 win, making him the first person born in the [[1990s]] to score in the Champions League and the second youngest player ever, behind [[Ghana]]ian forward [[Peter Ofori-Quaye]], then playing for [[Olympiakos CFP]], who scored at the age of 17 years and 195 days.<ref>[http://www.socceramerica.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Articles.showArticleHomePage&art_aid=26071 Teen Bojan, a pleasure to watch], ''SoccerAmerica.com'', [[April 2]], [[2008]]</ref>
 
===Early years===
== National team ==
Born in [[Linyola]], [[Province of Lleida|Lleida]], [[Catalonia]], to a [[Serbs|Serbian]] father, [[Bojan Krkić Sr.]], who was a professional footballer for Serbian side [[OFK Beograd]], and a Catalan mother, Maria Lluïsa Pérez,<ref name="Bojan Krkić">{{cite web|url=http://fc.barcelona.com/bojan_krkic_perez |title=Bojan Krkić Pérez |access-date=9 May 2009 |work=FC Barcelona tickets shop |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090719224836/http://fc.barcelona.com/bojan_krkic_perez |archive-date=19 July 2009 }}</ref> Bojan played for [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]]'s [[La Masia|youth teams]] from 1999 to 2006.<ref>[http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Estero/Primo_Piano/2007/01_Gennaio/17/condo.shtml Clonati Ronaldinho e Messi], ''[[Gazzetta dello Sport]]'', 17 January 2007 {{in lang|it}}</ref> A quick striker with quite notable [[dribbling]] skills, it was reported that he scored over 900 goals for various youth teams since joining the club as an eight-year-old, breaking [[Lionel Messi]]'s record.<ref name="Bojan Krkic: Catalan kid">{{cite web | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/bojan-krkic-catalan-kid-1936616.html | title=Bojan Krkic: Catalan kid | work=Independent| date=6 April 2010 | access-date=22 July 2014 | author=Jenson, Pete}}</ref> He then played the [[2006–07 Segunda División B|2006–07 season]] with the [[FC Barcelona B|Barcelona B]] team until he signed a professional contract with the first team upon turning 17.

=== 2006 UEFA Under-17 Football Championships ===
Bojan shot to prominence at the [[UEFA]] [[2006 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship|European Under 17 Championships]] in [[Luxembourg]] in May 2006 when he was joint top-scorer. He achieved this despite being a year younger than most of the other players in the tournament and only playing 40 minutes in four out of five of Spain Under-17's matches. He scored a [[hat trick]] against Luxembourg before inspiring his side to a 3–0 victory over the eventual champions [[Russia national football team|Russia]], with all of the goals of the game being scored with him on the pitch as a second half substitute. In the third match of the tournament, he scored a [[penalty (football)|penalty]] after once again being introduced at half time. He started the semi-final against the [[Czech Republic national football team|Czech Republic]] but, after his team-mate [[Roberto García]] was sent off, Spain struggled and lost 2–0 in a shock result. In the third-place play-off Bojan was once again a second half sub and scored the opener on 53 minutes. When the match went to penalties, he scored and Spain won 5–4 to finish third. In the 2007 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, Bojan led Spain to victory scoring the only goal against [[England national football team|England]] in the final. He also scored in the semi-final against [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]].
 
===Barcelona===
===2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup===
There was controversy surrounding Bojan's call up to the Spain U17 squad for the [[2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup|U17 2007 World Cup]] in [[South Korea]], because Barcelona wanted to keep him so that he could be part of their Asian Tour. The [[Spanish Football Federation]] (RFEF) denied the request and further controversy arose when the RFEF denied one of Barcelona's medics, [[Ricard Pruna]], the opportunity to accompany Bojan to the tournament to monitor a [[tendon]] problem in the player's knee.<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=371752 Worried Barcelona lose second Krkić battle], ''Goal.com'', [[March 8]], [[2007]]</ref>
 
====2007–08 season====
During the tournament he scored five goals, finishing joint third top scorer along with [[Germany national football team|Germany]] and [[Bayern Munich]] midfielder [[Toni Kroos]]. He was inspirational in leading Spain to the final. However, in the semi-final against [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]], Bojan was sent off for his second [[Yellow card (sports)|yellow card]] with only seconds left to play. He was suspended for the final and Spain lost to [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] on penalties. Because of his performances, Bojan was given the [[adidas]] Bronze Ball, naming him the third best player in the tournament, behind [[Macauley Christantus]] (Silver Ball) and [[Toni Kroos]] (Golden Ball).<ref>[http://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/news/newsid=619596.html#medalists+make+waves Medalists make waves], ''[[FIFA|FIFA.com]]'', [[10 October]] [[2007]]</ref>

====2008–09 season====
=== Spain national team ===
[[File:Bojan Krkić celebrate.jpg|thumb|Bojan celebrates his goal against [[Sporting Gijón]] on 31 August 2009 at Camp Nou]]
On [[1 February]] [[2008]], Bojan was included in [[Luis Aragonés]]'s squad for the [[Spain national football team|Spanish]] national team in a friendly against [[France national football team|France]] on [[6 February]] [[2008]].
Upon the departure of [[Gianluca Zambrotta]], Bojan was handed the number 11 shirt.

Bojan shot to prominence as a 15-year-old<ref>[http://www.uefa.com/under17/history/season=2007/goldenplayer/index.html 2007: Bojan Krkić]. ''[[UEFA]], UEFA.com''.</ref> at the [[UEFA]] [[2006 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship|European Under-17 Championship]] in [[Luxembourg]] in May 2006 when he was joint top-scorer, despite being a year younger than most of the other players in the tournament and only playing 40 minutes in four out of Spain's five matches. He scored a [[hat-trick]] against Luxembourg before inspiring his side to a 3–0 victory over the eventual champions [[Russia national under-17 football team|Russia]], with all of the goals being scored after he came on as a second-half substitute. In the third match, he scored a [[penalty (football)|penalty]] after once again being introduced at half time. He started the semi-final against the [[Czech Republic national under-17 football team|Czech Republic]] but, after his teammate Roberto García was sent off, Spain struggled and lost 0–2 in a shock result. In the third-place play-off, Bojan was once again a second-half substitute and scored the opener in the 53rd minute. When the match went to penalties, he scored and Spain won 5–4 to finish third. In the 2007 European Under-17 Football Championship, Bojan led Spain to victory, scoring the only goal against [[England national under-17 football team|England]] in the final. He also scored in the semi-final against [[Belgium national under-17 football team|Belgium]].
 
There was controversy surrounding Bojan's call up to the Spain U17 squad for the [[2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup]] in [[South Korea]], because Barcelona wanted to keep him so that he could be part of their Asian tour. The [[Royal Spanish Football Federation]] (RFEF) denied the request, and further controversy arose when the RFEF denied one of Barcelona's medics, Ricard Pruna, the opportunity to accompany Bojan to the tournament to monitor a [[tendon]] problem in the player's knee.

During the tournament, Bojan scored five goals, finishing as joint third top scorer along with [[Germany national under-17 football team|Germany]] midfielder [[Toni Kroos]]. He was inspirational in leading Spain to the final. In the semi-final against [[Ghana national under-17 football team|Ghana]], however, Bojan was sent off for his second [[Yellow card (sports)|yellow card]] with only seconds left to play. He was suspended for the final and Spain lost to [[Nigeria national under-17 football team|Nigeria]] on penalties. Because of his performances, Bojan was given the [[Adidas]] Bronze Ball, naming him the third best player in the tournament, behind Nigeria's [[Macauley Chrisantus]] (silver) and Toni Kroos (gold).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071020031136/http://fifa.com/u17worldcup/news/newsid=619596.html#medalists+make+waves Medalists make waves], ''[[FIFA]].com'', 10 October 2007</ref>
 
Bojan scored for the [[Spain national under-21 football team|Spanish under-21s]] in their 2–0 win over [[Poland national under-21 football team|Poland]], on 12 October 2007, quickly establishing himself as an important player, also prompting rumours of an eventual call-up from [[Spain national football team|senior side]]'s manager [[Luis Aragonés]]. Bojan was selected in the squad for the [[2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship|2009 UEFA Under-21 Championship]]. The Spanish team, however, underperformed and picked up one point from their first two games, leaving progression almost impossible. Bojan was called up to the Spain U-21 squad for [[2011 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship]].

Bojan was approached to play for [[Serbia national football team|Serbia]] in 2008 but declined because of his wish to play for Spain.<ref>[http://www2.svenskfotboll.se/u21em2009/t2.aspx?p=1423427&x=1&a=1155543 Krkic: "Jag har redan uppnått mycket"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090626061924/http://www2.svenskfotboll.se/u21em2009/t2.aspx?p=1423427&x=1&a=1155543 |date=26 June 2009 }} Svensk Fotboll</ref><ref name="mina08">[http://macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/3133/55/ Bojan Krkic refuses to play for Serbia], Macedonian International News Agency, 2008-08-30.

On 17 May 2008, it was revealed that Bojan had been left out of Spain's [[UEFA Euro 2008 squads#Spain|23-man squad]] for [[UEFA Euro 2008]] having asked if he could be left out on personal grounds, and also citing fatigue.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://goal.com/en-us/news/88/spain/2008/05/16/698689/bojan-im-too-tired-for-euro-2008|title=Bojan: I'm Too Tired For Euro 2008 |date=16 May 2008|access-date=25 July 2016}}</ref> In an interview with ''The Guardian'' ten years later, he revealed that he missed both his international debut and UEFA Euro 2008 because of [[Anxiety disorder|anxiety issues]], covering it up by giving other reasons he could not play.

He made his full Spanish debut on 10 September 2008 (at 18 years and 13 days) under [[Vicente del Bosque]] against [[Armenia national football team|Armenia]], where he came on during the last ten minutes for [[Santi Cazorla]] and played on the right wing for his only senior cap.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.whoscored.com/Matches/247999/Live |title= His First International Match, Spain 4–0 Armenia | publisher= Whoscored.com}}</ref>
