Mateo Kovačić
- Thread starter RedMadridista
- Start date
Is he Modrics successor though? Not an easy player to replace, by any means.
Morata will probably leave in the summer, since Benzema is undroppable.
Asensio is one for the future, but as with Modric, Ronaldo is not someone you can just replace out of the blue.
Well he won't replace Modric by playing at his level. Modric himself had to grow to his current leve. But Kovacic is a player you can trust to take over. This is a guy you play in a classico and does well
Had there not been favoritism towards Benzema, Morata would be starter by now
As for Asensio Well, someone will take that place in your front 3 when Ronaldo retires

I screamed for him to come here and I bet he would fit here even better than in RM. Great talent, but his consistency is yet to be proven however. At this point its mixed feelings for me.
On the one side I want him to succeed to enrich our NT and on the other....

I also wanted him here.
Modric and Rakitic have the highest IQ and professionalism among Croatian midfielders and attackers.
And yet, we bought Halilovic, a guy with lowest IQ in Croatian history
Kovacic has consistency problems.
He is not on Verratti's, Modric's level.
But he is (imo) way above Gomes, Denis, Rafinha, Arda, Roberto, Samper and similar.
Not ready yet to be a starter in Barca/Real, but good enough to be a 3rd choice Cm, with a potential for a lot of improvement in the future (he is 23. Modric came to Real aged 27).
On the other hand, a level of a possible improvement in our sub midfielders is extremely questionable.
When Sergi Roberto is currently a midfielder with the highest potential to improve, you know then that your team is in huge problems.

RM being able to bring in the likes of Kov and Isco as midfield alternates is certainly something Barca does not have. I do think S. Roberto will improve, but I expect Alena to improve the most and fastest. He is the one who could be the future starter.
