The Price of Genius

What is a rising star worth in the modern game? For Martin Baturina, the answer is a staggering 80 million euros. The Croatian midfielder has turned heads with an impressive campaign for Como 1907, transforming from a promising talent into one of Europe’s most sought-after young playmakers. Two unnamed Premier League giants are reportedly preparing offers between 50 and 55 million euros, while Bayern Munich held preliminary talks months ago. But Como is not blinking.

Champions League Shield

Why hold firm? Because Como has achieved the impossible. Under manager Cesc Fàbregas, Baturina was instrumental in securing a historic spot in the UEFA Champions League next season. The club’s stance, confirmed by transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, is absolute: they are not selling. The 23-year-old is too vital to Fàbregas’s system. With European football’s elite stage now within reach, diluting the squad with a sale makes no sense. Como views Baturina not as an asset to liquidate, but as the engine of their new era. The Premier League can bid, but Como is waiting for a miracle offer.
