Little Neymar still here.

Kovacic will indeed go to Chelsea on a season-long loan, but no purchase option is included [Cadena COPE]

Wonder if there will be a purchase option on that loan.

Everyone jumping the Madrid ship. Incredible!

Smart move by Madrid. The player wants out to play often. 1 year loan.
2019 Modric leaves at age 34 and Kovacic takes his place.

COPE: Kovacic to Chelsea on loan is complete. José Ángel Sánchez was in London yesterday to complete the deal.

Wtf are we even doing this transfer window? We have important players leaving, we have money to spend, and we are actually loaning out/selling players?
It would be fine if we had a replacement for Kovacic, but we dont.

No need to worry, you guys got Vinicius, you're pretty much all set for the years to come

Also, I'm sure papa Perez is preparing a mega transfer or two

I think Kovačić made a bad choice there.

I think Kovačić made a bad choice there.

Will probably be a starter alongside with Kante & Jorginho in the midfield I think.

Kovačić is better than likes of Drinkwater, Bakayoko (who's apparently going to Milan) and RLC.

Risky decision to go to Chelsea. I expect him to play enough but his position in the starting eleven is not secured at Chelsea.

 

[Andresito]

Lopetegui might prefer Ceballos and Asensio over him, hence another season on the bench.

Looks like Asensio will be played in attack. He's shown great finishing ability during this preseason.

Meaning Isco and Kroos will play in midfield with Casemiro.

Yes, they will, assuming Modric leaves. Kovacic is not good enough to start over either of them anyway.

 

[BBZ8800]

Well, he went out of his comfort zone to some extent (even though he was a sub).
Maybe he'll play at Chelsea, maybe he won't.

But maybe he'll improve his character, mature, take more responsibility, learn some new things.
At least he dared to try something new, unlike Denis, Gomes and some of our guys...

 

[Andresito]

What if Modric leaves as well, Thiago incoming?
