Leeds approach Como for Baturina negotiations

Signed in the summer from Dinamo Zagreb, the 22 year-old Croatia international has been outstanding for Como in his first months in Serie A.

Leeds chiefs have already seen enough and are trying to open talks with Como about a January deal for Baturina.

However, Sportmediaset says Como are proving stubborn in negotiations, with Leeds already having had an approach rebuffed.

Como, for their part, are determined to keep hold of Baturina, particularly at the midway stage of this season.
