  • Croatian footballer Martin Baturina is reportedly attracting significant transfer interest from top European clubs, including Real Madrid.
  • Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is reportedly keen on the player, but his current club, Como, will not negotiate for less than 80 million euros.
  • Baturina, who moved to Como in the summer of 2025, has impressed with his technique and performances in domestic and European competitions.

Croatian international Martin Baturina is reportedly on the verge of a career-defining transfer, with Real Madrid emerging as a strong suitor. The talented midfielder, who has impressed with his performances, has caught the eye of Europe's elite clubs.

According to transfer expert Ekrem Konur, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is particularly interested in securing Baturina's signature. However, his current club, Como, where he moved in the summer of 2025, is holding firm on their valuation, demanding a fee of at least 80 million euros for the Croatian star.

Baturina has been a standout player since his debut for Dinamo Zagreb in May 2021. He quickly became a regular starter, contributing significantly to the club's domestic trophy wins and making notable appearances in the Champions League and Europa League. His move to Como, managed by Cesc Fàbregas, has proven to be a successful step, with the club reportedly rejecting offers from Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur.

Konur's report indicates that Como will only consider entering negotiations if an offer reaches the substantial €80 million mark, underscoring Baturina's rising value in the transfer market.
