Martin Erlić, born 24 January 1998 (age 28), is a Croatia centre-half with FC Midtjylland. At 6ft 4in (1.92m), he is an imposing defender, and his current market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His strongest league return came at Spezia in 2020–2021, when he scored three goals in 27 appearances. That remains the most productive domestic season of his career, and it gives a fair sense of the profile: primarily a defender, but one capable of making set-pieces matter.
At Midtjylland in 2025–2026, Erlić has remained a regular first-team presence. He has made 18 Superliga appearances, scoring two goals, and added eight Europa League appearances with four goals. Across all competitions for the Danish club this season, he has 26 appearances and six goals.
He has also been involved with Croatia during the same campaign, making one World Cup qualifying appearance and scoring once. His career is not short on movement or variety, but at present it is centred on regular football at Midtjylland and continued international involvement with Croatia.
