Real Madrid have reportedly missed out in their transfer race to sign Dinamo Zagreb Martin Baturina.
Baturina has emerged as a key player in Zagreb alongside a developing role for the Croatia national team.
His calmness in midfield has drawn plenty of comparisons with Los Blancos icon Luka Modric with the 21-year-old tipped as his long term successor.
However, as per reports from Sky Germany via Diario AS, he will not be filling Modric’s role in Madrid, after opting against a move to the Spanish capital.
Real Madrid reportedly offered a five year contract to Baturina, but with the option of sending him on a two year loan to another La Liga side, which has apparently scuppered a deal.
The situation could be revisited in 2025, but Baturina is expected to demand a greater first team role, with concerns over the examples of young players who have recently seen their game time reduced after joining Real Madrid.

Good decision. Real Madrid always want ready made players, so why waste time on the bench
Real Madrid doesn’t want anything. Stop believing in stupid rumors. Why will Real Madrid buy another midfielder again when they have more of them? Sense is not common 🤌🏾

We don't even need him. Real Madrid problem is defenders and not midfielders.

Guler is warming the bench already for that position, doubt he will want to do the same.
