Mateo Kovačić

[Barcaman]

Just read it. Damn shame.

Well it's a good sign. At least we are considering him seriously. Since his play fits perfect for Barca, I guess the club could try again in couple of years.

We could use a player like him now. They should have had pursued him a bit earlier in the window.

Isn't Halilovic a player like him? As far as I know they are quite similar players?

 

[DonAK]

I think another AM is the last thing we need right now.

Iniesta is not getting any younger.

In my book, Mateo is better.

He would certainly fit Barca like a glove, especially in a couple years. But from Inter's perspective, getting rid of him would probably be the worst decision since selling Pirlo to Milan.

Iniesta is not getting any younger.

He wouldn't get much playing time. In his age it's vital for him to get a reasonable amount of playing time to develop. If he keep developing well and does well in Inter then I reckon we'll be back for him in a couple of years time.

Agree and for that very reason it would be better for us to join us early so that he could be molded Barca style. Couple of years more in Inter wont mean much since they play defensive football.

I'm sure we didn't offer 25 mln for him. It's all media crap. We could sign Kroos for the same amount of money. Kroos prefered to join us than Madrid and we didn't want him anyway. We tried few times to sign Kroos if it's true but somebody didn't want him in Barca so we went for Rakitić.

Mateo is 3 years older though.

Sky don't make up things. Low probability of that number being far off.

i read that somewhere aswell. Very curious who is that someone ? lucho maybe ?

Quite obvious that Inter wouldn't sell their best young player in the summer...

In 25th April, Inter's president, Erick Thohir, said this if Kovacic's going to stay at them in the next season:

Kovacic will be part of Inter’s future
