The Croatian seems to be a free agent, although the statement from Milan gave very few details other than the length of the contract.

Despite being so young, Halilovic is well-travelled, with experiences at Dinamo Zagreb, Barcelona, Sporting Gijon, Las Palmas and Hamburger SV.
Halilovic confirmed his arrival with an Instagram Stories post in training and the phrase: ‘Happy to be here.’
“AC Milan announces the signing of Alen Halilovic from HAMBURGER SV. The Croatian midfielder inked a three-year contract until June 30, 2021,” read the official club statement.
“Betting on a star that can and wants to shine again, a bet to be won. Born in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in 1996, Alen has great potential, though his career has not yet flourished. He arrives in Serie A fully motivated, ready for that boost following his spell in La Liga.
“Left-footed, 169cm tall and 69 kilos, he is a creative and technical player with playmaking ability in the tight space, capable of operating throughout the midfield as no.10, winger or holding midfielder offering, therefore, a range of tactical solutions to Rino Gattuso.
“The young Croatian tends to move in from the right threatening in the middle with abilities to break through the line. Welcome, Alen!”
