Gil Vicente and Roko Baturina have reached an agreement to terminate the player's contract. The 26-year-old Croatian forward has left the club after a two-year link, during which he was loaned out three times consecutively.

What happened?

Roko Baturina was loaned to Racing Santander in the second half of the 2023/24 season, and subsequently to Málaga and Horsens, from Denmark, without finding a permanent place in any of these clubs.

Why is this important for Gil Vicente?

The termination of Roko Baturina's contract is a reflection of Gil Vicente's squad renewal policy, which currently occupies 6th place in the Primeira Liga, with 50 points, 13 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses in 34 games, and a goal difference of +9.

What comes next?

Roko Baturina has attracted interest in the market, having been recently linked to FC Aarau, from the Swiss second division. Meanwhile, Gil Vicente continues to fight to improve its position in the table, being 38 points behind leader FC Porto.

The Gil Vicente club has 47 goals scored and 38 conceded in the season, and is seeking to maintain consistency to achieve its goals. With the termination of Roko Baturina's contract, Gil Vicente may be looking for reinforcements for the squad.
