The former Germany youth international says he thought his success as a teen would translate as he struggled with so much attention
Former Schalke youngster Donis Avdijaj has revealed he had offers to join some of the top sides in the world, including Manchester United, Juventus and Liverpool.
The 22-year-old currently plays for Eredivisie club Willem II, having departed Schalke on free transfer last summer having spent much of the past few years on loan.
But it was not always that way for Avdijaj, as he lit up the youth levels in Germany, scoring 17 goals for Schalke’s U-19 side in just 17 games, only seven of those starts, during the 2013-14 season.
