Mateo Kovacic

[Haaland94]

You don't play for Inter, Real & Chelsea (ok maybe not Chelsea) and get capped almost 100 times by Croatia without being at least a semi-useful midfielder. Would be a good addition to the squad if we can get him for a decent fee.

This season, but in 2021 they won the CL :). He has been excellent for Croatia this season, for example.

We have been interested in Kovacic since 2013, he is one of those players with a very high ceiling ability-wise, and you just know that the guy needs someone like Pep to help him fulfill his potential.

For anyone interested, it's Netherlands vs Croatia tonight, a chance to see him in action.

Maybe it's just to help his creation teammate settle and provide some experienced backup

True story.
I was in a Taverna in Crete next to our rented Villa. At the very start of the holiday I asked the Owner his name.He said “Georgie, like Georgie Best”.
I replied “ not heard of him , do you mean like Georgie Samaras?”
He was delighted with my reply and gave me a free pint :-) as he was also from Heraklion.
