Mateo Kovacic

[Delphinho]

Yeah, was just reading that and going to post it. He apparently met him as recent as Friday and told him he wants to be sold before returning from holidays for pre-season.

Interesting too that they quote circa €50mil.....

Only 50? I think that would be a good price for him. Only 24 and could have 8-9 good seasons left. I see that a lot of people mentions that he struggles to get enough playing time, but you should not forget he is competing with Modric, Rakitic(national team), Casemiro, Kroos and Isco

I rate the guy, looks good every time I see him. Big strong lad.

He is also behind brozovic as well who is only a year one and available for 50mil euros according to his agent

50mil is kinda cheap

Would prefer this lad over an ageing Pjanic.

Brozovic is also a good playee, but personally I think Kovacic did better than Brozovic in the world cup. My point was that Kovacic is still a very good player, but many underrates him because the likes of Modric, Kroos, Casemiro and Rakitic is ahead of him in the pecking order

Did he play in the WC?

Hardly.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Hardly.

Thought as much as i don't remember him at all.

Played 73 times(3 seasons) for Madrid though,so can't be a dud.

And several other clubs become interested and we have a stand off which could leave us empty handed and another year down the line. We would then actually be desperate with fern all but finished and clubs knowing we need a replacement there and then. Tough job this transfer business
