Interviewed by Corriere dello Sport, the former Inter player Vladimir Jugovic commented on the situation of the players from the former Yugoslavia in Italy: “You invest in them because they are cheap, perform at a high level and when they explode they can be sold at a high price. Think for example of Kolarov, Jovetić, Nastasić and Savic: Italian clubs have transferred them abroad and have done great business. Perišić? He could have arrived to Italy a few years ago, just like Džeko. When it comes to players from the former Yugoslavia you must take a gamble on them when they are young and make them grow, they are guarantees. Look at Maksimovic: he has been in Serie A since he was 21 years old and is now worth a lot.”
