Martin Erlic

Martin Erlic spent the bulk of his career in Italy, progressing through Spezia and then Sassuolo, where he developed into a reliable Serie A centre-back known for his positional discipline and calm distribution. He moved to FC Midtjylland in 2025, continuing his career in a high-intensity pressing environment. For Croatia, he is a dependable squad option rather than a guaranteed starter, offering cover across the backline. His experience of Italian football's tactical rigour gives him a strong defensive foundation, and he reads the game intelligently without relying on pace.
