The transfer of Mateo Kovacic to Real Madrid now seems concluded (the distance between Real Madrid’s offer and Inter’s request is minimal), and AS reveals something very interesting about this important affair. Rafael Benitez’s agent, Manuel Garcia Quillon, has supposedly had a very important role to get the final yes from the player and Inter.

should buy cuadrado +perisic now and metens and clichy
Benitez is an OG in this pic.
How about coutinho..? Get him back.
Inter sell kova.. how much inter get money? And the money buy who? Isco,moura,pastore?
actually i am happy that kova is leaving because with our stupid coaching sfatt this kid cant learn nothing…all our coaching staff and management are on mid table team level….they act like we are one, so be it…next season our gold will be upper half table finish…nice job!!!
this is total bullshit. you ll see kovacic when he plays for madrid and you ll just sit there blaming mancini for selling him. however after shaq and kova departures we expect some at least another 2 quality signings. its not the end of the world forza Inter!
I get your point, but what you see as Kova’s weakness, I see that as his strength. He’s such a talent, that no matter what formation, the coach has to find him a space to play.
kovacic main weakness is keeping possession in a very possession heavy system like mancini’s. and also his footballing IQ (knowing where to be positionaly and knowing when to pass or shoot)
Kova is very young. He has a high Footballing IQ unlike JJ. Just look at his through passes. He just needs experience. I’d rather see him as trequista rather than the slow and old HERNANES!
regardless 35m is a great deal by ausilio. it was our time to sell him.
I hope inter get a real mature playmaker in exchange for kovacic, hernanes needs a competition for CAM position. We need to build around developed players.
Perotti can play CAM as well.
Adding to this, if we play 4-2-3-1, JoJo can play behind Icardi, and [hopefully] Perisic and Perotti on the flanks.
So who do we buy now is the real question? Who are realistic targets for a big time #10 playmaker?
If we’re gonna play 4-3-3, we won’t need a classic #10.
News said the money made from this deal will not be spend in the mercato…
If we are buying playmaker, I hope he is on the same level with verrati / de bruyne / oscar.
Didn’t we have to give most of the money from Shaq back to Bayern?
Yip basically made 2 million only
Is it so hard for everyone to accept the fact that a player who still doesn’t have his position on the field after 2 years is getting sold. He is a super talent, okay, I understand. But how is he going to make a difference when he can’t even settle in one formation. Can’t read opponents, therefore not a defensive mid material and when he is in a more attacking position he fades out completely. We can acquire 2 or 3 quality, consistent players with his sale and yet everyone flips out. Inter needs results now, we can wait no longer and I am an Inter fan not a Kovacic fan. I see reason in this move. Now it’s up to the management to find worthy reinforcements.
not for 35 mil. simple.
Sadly he doesn’t perform consistently enough for a higher price but I’m confident that this will suffice anyway.
to be given 35M for a youngster who are (in my honest capacity as a person, not as an Interista) widely inconsistent and worth no more than 20M at most, it’s a fair deal. I mean this is superstar price tag territory here (look at how much Rube got for Vidal)
I agree i like kovacic a lot but dont forget that we all liked ibra too we sold him and we build one of the greatest teams in the world(And truth be told ibra was all inter ,kova wasn’t) .The thing is we must spend all that money we got from kova and shaq on the team !!
Ibra wanted to leave, Kova never asked to be sold!
The difference before is that we had mourinho who knew what to do and had milito ready as the replacement, now we have this stupid management and this stupid coach
You still don’t see the picture now? The problems are from the management !!!!! They sell for money !!!!!! Let’s see who they gonna to buy back coming .
Are you dumb? LOL we bought like 6 players this summer, we are investing so hard in the very thing you said they dont care about, ranking.
we’ll get even more players after we sell kovacic.
Exactly. I can’t fucking see how someone thinks we are actually selling for money. That is Croatian clubs and such, that sell players for 10 million and then buy nothing. We are investing 300% more than we are getting.
good time to sell also. inter just failed to utilize him.
Ok. Let’s see who will sell next. One must be Santon.
OFCOURSE WE WILL SELL MORE PLAYERS. YOU DO REALIZE WE HAVE SPENT INSANE MONEY SO FAR AND NEED TO OFFLOAD SOME OTHER PLAYERS TO BALANCE IT. Are you 12? Do you have basic +/- knowledge? The fuck?
Ok. Calm down . May be you are right.
Dani you wrote everything that I was thinking about.
The only position that he has been useful in it, was CM. He was bad as CAM, awful as winger -compare with Iniesta if u will- and worst as DM.
He doesn’t fit anywhere and he was also a sole reason why Mancini never played 4-2-3-1 so far. We can only speculate the formation we will be using this season until all the signings are done.
you forget to mention he was only getting better, meaning we could of used him and sell him in a couple of years for way more than 35
I’d prefer getting new players for the team now and aim high in the table. Kovacic is extremely inconsistent; His value could rise but it could also plummet if he underperforms.
I’m so fucking mad right now. How much time did it take us to accept this deal?
Real – “Hey, Inter, we’re thinking of buying Kov…”
Inter – “YES!!”
Fuck getting Perisic. De Bruyne, Isco or Draxler…
De Bruyne rejected Serie A entirely and if Isco is sold, Juve are going to get him. Which makes selling Kovacic to madrid even worse because that will make the Isco deal to RuBe easier.
This is such a stupid fucking deal.
We’ve accumulated about 50 mil from Kova and Shaq. De Bruyne’s gonna have as much saying as Kova had in this.
you understand that de bruyne will cost around 70 mil with city ready to spend big for him?… i really want draxler but i cant see him coming too :S
We made around 2 million from shaq deal – only paid for him at end of season…
yeah thats true…
Fuck you, Manuel! you can die in a fire.
