The Serbian Football Association have written to FIFA as they explore the possibility of recruiting Bojan Krkic to play for their national team.

Stoke forward Krkic was born in Spain and grew up in Catalonia. He played for the Spanish youth age groups at Under 17 and Under 21 levels.

He also made one appearance for the senior team under Vicente Del Bosque at the age of only 18 in 2008, when he came on a substitute in a World Cup Qualifying clash against Armenia.

However, Krkic has a Serbian father and therefore could be eligible to change nationality.

Serbia manager Slavoljub Muslin is keen to lure Krkic into his squad at only 26 years old, he could feasibly compete in major tournaments in the coming years for Serbia.

On Tuesday, Krkic declined to comment on the situation when contacted by Sportsmail and it is understood he is awaiting FIFA's response before taking any position on the matter.

FIFA were unable to clarify the regulations surrounding the change of nationality when contacted by Sportsmail on Tuesday afternoon.
