Slovan Bratislava is close to finalizing a loan deal for Croatian international Martin Erlić from Bologna, with a buy option included. The Croatian centre-back joined Bologna in August 2024 for around €7 million from Sassuolo and is now deemed surplus by the Italian club amid squad reshaping. Slovan wants him available for the second qualifying round of the upcoming Champions League. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 4.00 million euros.
