Manchester United have positioned themselves to sign Dinamo Zagreb star Martin Baturina, who s been described as the next Luka Modric in his homeland.
The Croatian, who has come through the Zagreb academy to become a key part of the first team, has five caps for his country at the age of 21 but featured for just five minutes at Euro 2024.
That may well be because the indomitable figure of Modric stands in his way and it s claimed Baturina has traits similar to that of the Real Madrid legend.
Those qualities have caught the attention of a number of top European clubs, including United, who have taken strides towards signing a player who could take the next step in the summer according to Sky Germany reporter Patrick Berger.
