Mateo Kovačić

[Butaan4barca]

busquets is the best dm in the world. The thing about him is that he is much more than just a dm.

besides all that everyone has said, i think one of the best characteristic of busquets is shifting the direction of play from defense to attack in the quickest possible manner.

A lot of time we see his one pass takes the vulnerable opposition area and traps people in their own game.

 

[AnfieldEd]

We've agreed personal terms with him but a long way off agreeing a deal with Inter. Also he's still free to agree personal terms with any other club, so I'd still put our chances at around 25%. I still feel he is Arsenal bound from what info I have.

Ah so he's Barca bound in a few seasons.

Indeed!

 

[EdmondDantes]

So he's apparently staying at Inter eh?

He'll probably join us in January, ready for the CL!

Tbh all the transfer rumors surrounding Kovacic were silly so far. I mean the figures were too low to believe in, at least for me. "10m, 18m, 25m tops"... in this inflated market these figures for a player like Kovacic are hilarious. And Thohir and Mancini has no intention of selling him either, unless a mega offer comes up.

The whole market is not inflated though. Clubs do bargain deals all the time. Lazio managed to sign De Vrij for only 8m euros, after the incredible WC he had for the Netherlands, and has been an absolute rock in defense for Lazio this season. Sevilla paid like 4m euros for Krycho last summer, even though he had put in two great seasons in France and impressed alot for Poland. Monaco also signed Bernardo Silva for only 15m euros, looks like the steal of the century.

Kovacic is one the the hottest talents out there. Definitely better than the likes of De Vrij and not any worse than Dybala. Inter is nuts to let him go for anything less than 35-40m.

Nah mate. Only Pogba is gonna cost a lot. Kovacic plays for Inter who'll get bullied to sell their top talent for nothing.

Pogba is gonna cost an insane amount! Kovacic is cheaper for sure, not 20m cheap though.

When has Barcelona ever bullied anyone into anything, though? We're not exactly known for being good negotiators. Apart from a few good deals like Rakitić and Alba, which were still fair prices at the time, we never got top talent for a low cost.

He sure is, but if he want to join then he could help us with atleast dropping his insane wage demands which The Fat Rat wants.

Kovacic will prob cost half of what Pogba will, but not 20-25m either.

 

[Co0ter]

No way Kovacic will cost half of Pogba (80-100mil likely). If a club he really wanted to play for went after him 25mil and he'd be gone..I mean Liverpool is in the talks and they barely offered 20mil. Worst case will be 30mil imo...which is still a steal for him.

It's not a long time since he renewed his contract. Inter are building a team which can compete. They have absolutely no reason to sell him, especially for peanuts.

Just recently Mancini said he's not going anywhere.
