"Leeds United are interested in signing the Croatian midfielder Martin Baturina. He has not been able to express himself properly at Como, and he is already looking to leave the club. The 22-year-old joined the Italian club at the start of the season for a fee of 18 million. Leeds have already made enquiries about a move, and Como will demand around 22-25 million to sell the player in January, as per TMW."
"A fresh start could be ideal for Baturina, and moving to the Premier League will be exciting for him. He has the technical attributes to do well in English football, and he has been likened to Luka Modric in the past. Leeds need more control and composure in the middle of the park. They need someone who can control the tempo of the game from the deep."
"The 22-year-old would be ideal for them. It will be interesting to see if he can adapt to English football quickly. The reported price is affordable for a club with Leeds' resources. It remains to be seen what the Premier League club decides. Baturina has not been able to make his mark at the Italian club, and Leeds might want to sign him for a knockdown fee."
Leeds United are pursuing Croatian midfielder Martin Baturina after limited impact at Como, where he joined for €18 million this season. Como have received enquiries and are seeking around €22–25 million for a January sale. The 22-year-old possesses technical attributes suited to English football and has been likened to Luka Modric, offering control and tempo from deep midfield. Leeds require more composure and a player capable of managing the middle of the park. Negotiations could involve Leeds seeking a reduced fee while Como aim for a small profit. Baturina appears open to a move and could benefit from regular Premier League football.
