Martin Baturina, a 23-year-old midfielder, has become another asset that Como's transfer market intends to retain despite interest from Premier League clubs. The Croatian has a contract until June 2030, and President Mirwan Suwarso confirmed that they have already turned down an offer of 55 million euros, placing his internal valuation at 75 million.

Martin Baturina, the next big asset for Como

Baturina arrived at Como from Dinamo Zagreb in 2025 for around 18 million euros plus bonuses and ended his first Italian season with 8 goals and 4 assists in 34 matches. His performance allowed the club to reject a 55 million proposal and keep him as part of Cesc Fàbregas's project.

The market once again pressured during the summer. Aston Villa even managed an offer that could have reached 70 million euros, but Como kept the player in the squad and did not accept the deal. The contract until 2030 leaves the Italian club with no need to sell.

This situation fits with the policy explained by Suwarso: Como does not intend to part with its players at the first significant price. The executive also recalled that the club turned down 60 million for Assane Diao after buying him for 12 million.

Nico Paz leads the way at Como

The case of Nico Paz demonstrates how far Como is willing to go to retain its key players. The club paid 60 million euros to Real Madrid in June to acquire 100% of his rights, although the Spanish club retained a buy-back option of 80 million for 2027.

Paz had ended the previous season with 12 goals and 7 assists, figures that helped Como finish fourth in Serie A and qualify for the Champions League. In the European debut against RB Leipzig, the Argentine provided two assists in a 4-1 victory.

Baturina also started the new season in the spotlight. On September 10, he scored Como's first goal in the Champions League against Leipzig, while Paz contributed with two assists in a win that put the Italian team in the European focus.

Fàbregas has another protected player

Baturina's continuity also reflects the influence of Cesc Fàbregas in Como's planning. The coach directly intervened to ensure the club completed the purchase of Nico Paz, who became a central piece of the team after the 60 million outlay.

Now, Martin Baturina represents another case of a young player with a long contract and a valuation higher than the received offers. His market value is around 41 million euros according to Sofascore, below the 75 million Como holds as an internal reference.

The next transfer window will once again put Martin Baturina in the spotlight if the Premier League insists on new proposals. With a contract until 2030, an offer of 55 million was already deemed insufficient, showing Como will only consider a sale when the figure approaches their president's set valuation.
