Aston Villa receive shock over Martin Baturina price

Como have set a high price for the departure of Croatian Martin Baturina, who has attracted the interest of Aston Villa after his strong start to the season.

According to "TEAMtalk" citing "Tutto Mercato Web", Aston Villa have made a €55 million offer for Martin Baturina during the summer, but Como rejected it and demanded €80 million.

Martin Baturina made history for Como this week by becoming the first player to score for the club in the UEFA Champions League. He also provided an assist in the same match, bringing his tally this season to 3 goals and 2 assists.

With the player's brilliance, it is believed that the amount set by Como may just be the starting point for negotiations, as he has become the focus of interest for several clubs.

Reports have indicated that Aston Villa are also interested in signing Colombian forward Kevin Viveros from Atlético Paranaense this summer.

ESPN Brazil has reported that Atletico rejected offers of €20 million for Vitor Roque, before raising their demands to between €30 and €40 million, after the player scored 17 goals in 25 matches in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in 2026.

Despite this, Aston Villa do not seem to be candidates to try to sign Vifirus again, after acquiring Nicolas Jackson during the summer transfer window.
