How is that price justified ? He ain’t a reg for Real nor Croatia he hasn’t proven anything substantial yet. I am not saying he isn’t a good player He just reminds me of the ex Southampton player recently sold to I believe Ajax Tadic
How?

Thats just how the market is at the moment. He is conciderd to be one of the most promising cms in the world. The reason he do not start is that both Real Madrid and Croatia has probably the 3 best cms in the world in Modric, Kroos and Rakitic. Cant blame the guy for not getting to start.

Look at the prices for Martial and Zaha. What have they accomplished? Kovacic would have started in every pl team. Tadic is far from his ability.

Lots of talk of modric getting close to inter hence their withdrawal of interest in Vidal who's now going to Barca. If this is actually happening Kovacic might be persuaded to stay. Unless they get some else. This window is crazy.
interesting, the last I saw was RM demanding €750M for Modric.

Isn't Vidal off to Barca now, maybe backed out isn't quite right.
Yeah, but it seemed like inter cooled thier interest rather the Barca nabbing him. He hasn't signed yet so who knows. His 9 year old Son supposedly says he's deciding between the two. Fuck knows what is actually going on.

Yeah, my 9yo son would be getting a talkin'to when I got home if he's popping off about my money. WTF is that? And who talks career moves with their 9yo? That's adult shit that a child should not be burdened with.

any hope we've got left should be on this guy now. we've murdered every other deal and being hamstrung by the HG rubbish we're probably only bringing 1 in. Has to be a quality cm to salvage anything out of this shitshow of a window.

Yeah it’s a crazy story, reported Mundo Deportivo. Apparently he said something about it on social media, haven’t read it myself. To be honest, as crazy as it is, it doesnt feel out of place for this window.

A bit different if you're a football player though and your son is really into his football.

If I had 2 big offers and I wasn't arsed about which I took, I'd love to let my son choose which team he would like to see me play for.

The excitement I get when there are a bunch of new posts in the Kovacic thread, to pop in and not see any ITK. :cry:

* Yes I am aware of the irony that I am adding to the new posts

Not sure there's ever been ITK on Kovacic, more wishful thinking I think.

Modric and Kovacic supposedly available for decent prices yet we're looking at Dani Ceballos instead. Just about sums up our window so far.

I read that they want €100m for Modric and £80m for Kovacic. Yeah, 'decent prices'.

Ah so it turns out quite literally every but us are in for him :ROFLMAO:

Mateo Kovacic emerges as AC Milan target with Manchester City, United and Chelsea set to battle for Real Madrid star

AC Milan are readying an offer for Mateo Kovacic to spark a frantic transfer battle.
Inter Milan are also keen on re-signing the Croatia midfielder, who wants to leave the Bernabeu in search of first team football.

Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are all monitoring the situation but will have to move quickly to sign the Real Madrid star before next Thursday's deadline.

The Croatia international is determined to exit the Bernabeu this summer in search of first team football.

And La Repubblica believe the first option could be a return to Milan - where he spent two years with rivals Inter - with the Rossoneri set to table the first offer in the coming days.

Los Blancos will not deal for less than €60m (£53m) for the 24-year-old, which could secure almost treble the €22m they paid for Kovacic in 2015.
