PSG are reportedly in advanced negotiations with Dinamo Zagreb to recruit Martin Baturina, a 21-year-old Croatian prodigy, for €25 million. Find out the details.

Paris Saint-Germain could strike a big blow in the winter transfer window by securing the services of Martin Baturina, the young attacking midfielder from Dinamo Zagreb. Aged 21, this Croatian talent, often compared to Luka Modric, is under contract until 2028. According to Croatian media Germanijak, negotiations between the two clubs are already advanced. The operation could reach 25 million euros, with a possible loan to Zagreb until the end of the season.

Author of one goal and five assists in 13 matches this season, Baturina made an impression against AS Monaco in the Champions League with a brilliant performance. Despite interest from Manchester United, Zagreb had already rejected an offer of €18 million from Fiorentina last summer. PSG seems determined to expand a squad in search of solutions, particularly in midfield.

An intriguing recruit

While PSG is going through a tumultuous period after its defeat against Bayern Munich (0-1) and internal tensions involving Ousmane Dembélé and Presnel Kimpembe, this potential recruitment would bring new life.

Capable of playing as a number 10 or midfielder, Baturina shines with his maturity on the ball and his technical quality. His arrival would mark a strategic shift, aiming to strengthen the team with promising young players rather than focusing solely on established stars.
