According to reports, Barcelona and Manchester United will fight for Martin Baturina, a 21-year-old midfielder for Dinamo Zagreb who has already rejected Real Madrid. According to a report by reputable German writer Patrick Berger, Barcelona is interested in Martin Baturina. Manchester United is also after the midfield potential from Dinamo Zagreb, and the Croatian powerhouses are asking for between €20–25 million to let him go.
The teenage player has already rejected Real Madrid and is eager to join the Bundesliga. The 21-year-old has already made nearly 150 appearances for the team, contributing 18 goals and 34 assists since breaking into the first team lineup at Dinamo Zagreb a few years ago. The young player has also made seven Croatian appearances. As for Baturina’s development, it has not gone ignored; numerous prominent European clubs, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, have taken notice.
Barcelona interested in 21-year-old rising star
According to journalist Patrick Berger of Sky Sport Germany, Barcelona is now considering hiring Martin Baturina. In order to advance in his profession, the 21-year-old offensive midfielder intends to leave Dinamo Zagreb at the end of the current campaign. It is also said that Barça has shown interest in the young player, who has the support of Luka Modric, the legendary captain of Real Madrid.
The Dinamo Zagreb youngster is showing promise as a long-term aim for the Red Devils, who require a top-tier midfield progressor. Manchester United will have a difficult time acquiring him, though. In the meantime, it makes sense that Barcelona is interested in Martin Baturina. Academy graduates Marc Casado, Fermin Lopez, and Marc Bernal have already contributed to the Catalan giants’ aggressive midfield unit strengthening. Therefore, unless Frenkie de Jong departs, it is unclear how Baturina fits into FC Barcelona’s overall plan.
