Birmingham's "Aston Villa" is seriously interested in the sparkling Croatian player Martin Baturina, who shone at the World Cup.

Yesterday, the 23-year-old midfielder scored an impressive goal against England, further raising his stock in the player market.

According to journalist Nicolo Schira, the player belonging to "Como" is already being courted by the "Aston Villa" team, which promises to transfer as much as 50 million euros.

However, the "Serie A" club had a lightning-fast response – the English were left as if stung by a bee.

M. Baturina has been defending "Como" colors since last summer, when he was signed from Zagreb's "Dinamo" for 18 million euros.
