Como 1907 hires Croatia's football jewel Baturina for 22 million!

Martin Baturina, a 22-year-old Croatian international, moves from Gnk Dinamo Zagreb to Como 1907 to series A. His obligation, which takes place under the eyes of the former Spanish football star CESC Fàbras, the coach of Como, brings a transfer fee of at least 17 million euros to the table, while a few sources even speak of $ 25 million. The talented midfielder's contract runs until 2030, so Como can plan his ambitions in Serie A in the long term. Baturina particularly stands out due to his strong last season, in which he contributed six goals and twelve templates in 45 games.

COMO 1907, which last took 10th place in the league, hopes to increase its own performance with Baturina and to assert itself in one of the most competitive leagues in Europe. CESC FàBregas has already praised Baturina as a player of immense quality, which only reinforces the high expectations of the new addition.

challenges for Matthias Braunöder

Matthias Braunöder, a 23-year-old ÖFB legionnaire, also remains with the club, but could be confronted with challenges. He had no missions last season and often only sat on the replacement bench or grandstand. His contract runs by summer 2027. Due to the current developments and the commitment of Baturina, an early farewell to Braunöder is not excluded.

Another interesting detail is that Baturina will meet his compatriot Petar Sučić in Italy, but in different teams. He will also meet with Croatian player Ivan Smolčić at Como, which could make integration into the new team easier.
