On November 5, according to German Sky Sports, Real Madrid is interested in signing 21-year-old Croatian prodigy Bruno Baturina, but the player has declined the offer.
As early as September, there were reports that Real Madrid was interested in the 21-year-old Croatian talent Bruno Baturina, who currently plays for Dinamo Zagreb in the Croatian First Football League and is seen as a significant hope for the future of Croatian football. Baturina idolizes Luka Modric and considers him his biggest role model in his career. Modric also leveraged this relationship to lobby Baturina to join Real Madrid.
It is understood that Real Madrid is also very interested in Baturina and is willing to offer him a five-year contract. The club plans to sign Baturina and then loan him out to another La Liga club to gain experience before bringing him back.
However, Baturina has rejected Real Madrid’s offer, expressing a preference to play in the Bundesliga. Baturina’s contract with Dinamo Zagreb expires on June 30, 2028, and it remains unclear whether he will transfer during the January winter window or next summer.
