Huge boost for Man United as €25m star midfielder rejects another transfer offer in favor of Old Trafford move

According to reports, Manchester United is one of the teams interested in a possible deal for Martin Baturina, a young player from Dinamo Zagreb who apparently rejected Real Madrid.

It’s hardly surprise that many elite clubs are currently interested in the 21-year-old because he appears to be a tremendous prospect.

Journalist Patrick Berger claims that although Baturina has turned down a bid from Real Madrid, he is also being courted by major teams like Manchester United and Barcelona.

He may be paid as little as €25 million, which, if he plays up to his potential, could prove to be a great deal.

Baturina is a skilful and intelligent midfielder who could well be the next Luka Modric as he enjoys a similar rise in Croatian football at a young age.

Modric also started out at Zagreb before moving to Tottenham, where he shone in the Premier League and eventually earned himself a move to Real Madrid, where he still is today and where he has become a club legend and all-time great of the European game.

It surely won’t be easy for United to win the race for Baturina when so many other top clubs also seem keen on him, but for the time being it’s surely good news that he’s turned down Real Madrid.

The Red Devils surely need to replace ageing playmaker Christian Eriksen, while the club have also arguably missed Scott McTominay since allowing him to leave and join Napoli in the summer.

Baturina already looks like he could come in and have a key role in this United side, and if a deal can be done for just €25m then what are they waiting for
