During the speech to the microphones of Radio FirenzeViolathe sporting director of Novara, and expert on Croatian football, Christian Argurio he spoke about Martin Baturina, a player who ended up in the sights of the Viola team: “It won’t be an easy choice for Dinamo Zagreb who will play today to go to the Champions League and therefore will decide only after tonight. I have always liked Baturina a lot and I have always followed him.
One of the small problems he had was tactical – continued Argurio – but he is one of the best young players, already called up to the European Championships with the national team. He reminds us of Modric, although more for the fact that they are of Dalmatian origin who then went to Dinamo Zagreb than for characteristics. He did not have a well-defined role but now he is offering performances with continuity, in a trident behind the striker but he can play in multiple roles.
What is the right figure? Dinamo’s valuation of the player is high, even around 25, because he is their precious stone and knows how to wait. Fiorentina should be very close to what Dinamo is asking for. If the club then reaches the Champions League, perhaps they will wait and show him off and then sell him in January or June for the amount they want”.
