Martín Baturina, the 21-year-old young talent who has revolutionized Croatian football, seems to have dealt an unexpected blow to the planes of Real Madrid. Nicknamed by many as the "new Modric" due to his similarities in playing style and his training at Dinamo de Zagreb, Baturina has caught the attention of major European clubs. However, Real Madrid, who saw in him the ideal successor to the legendary Luka Modric, has encountered a refusal from the midfielder, who is not willing to accept the conditions they presented to him.

Wants to have importance on the field and prioritizes other offers

According to 'Sky Sports Germany', Madrid offered Baturina a five-year contract, with the intention of loaning him out for two seasons to another team in Spain so he could gain experience in La Liga before joining the white team. But this idea of a prior loan does not convince the player, who, in case of making the leap, aspires to do so directly to a top-level club and not through a smaller team. In fact, Baturina only considers a move to teams that guarantee him an important role from the start, such as Bayern Munich or Manchester United.

For Real Madrid, this refusal is a significant setback. Baturina not only represents a promise of Croatian football but also an opportunity to rejuvenate their midfield with a profile similar to Modric, one of the club's biggest references in the last decade. Baturina's rejection underscores the difficulty of attracting young talents with big ambitions who seek immediate protagonism in the elite. In the meantime, Madrid will have to redirect their search towards other options, aware that they have let go of a player who, in the eyes of many, seemed destined to follow in Modric's footsteps at the Santiago Bernabéu.
