While Barcelona may not be planning major signings this winter, the club continues to scout emerging talents across Europe.
Details: One player attracting the attention of Barça scouts is Martin Baturina, a 21-year-old Croatian midfielder whose playing style has drawn comparisons to Luka Modrić.
Currently playing for Dinamo Zagreb, Baturina has caught the eye of several top European clubs, including Barcelona.
Baturina is under contract with Dinamo until 2028, but the Croatian side is reportedly willing to part with their star for a fee of around €25 million. This price may be out of reach for Barcelona in January, making a summer move more realistic.
This season, Baturina has played 20 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 7 assists.
Reminder: Earlier reports indicated that Barcelona had dropped out of the race to sign Iñaki Williams.
