The bags are packed and the destination is La Liga. Mateo Kovacic’s time at Nerazzurri really seems to have come to an end. The rumors circulating this morning in Spain, which claimed Real Madrid and Inter were discussing the transfer of the Croatian midfielder born in 1994, have now been confirmed by Italian Sky. The negotiations are in an advanced stage and Inter will reportedly get around 35 million euro plus bonuses. The deal seems very close to the end and Real Madrid is ready to embrace Mateo Kovacic.

35mil+bonuses for Kova is a great deal for us! Yes he’s shown glimpses of genius but he’s not the world class player he’s shown the potential to be yet, nor is he a guarantee to ever be. And even if he does eventually become the world class player predicted, we’ve still got more than a fair price for him now. Forza Inter!
Mourinho is now under pressured at Chealsea and also Mancini is. If Mourinho get sacked before the end of season, I think He is going to come to Inter regardless If Mancini going to win double winner this season. Everyone has right to choose their path and even Mourinho left us for Madrid. We won Scudetto from 2007 until 2010 and also we won treble in 2010. Regardless Mancini or Mourinho or whoever the coach we have to support them. We got Kovacic from from Coutinho’s transfer to Liverpool, and now rising star there because EPL is suitable for him, don’t expect the same thing he can do in Italy. Even if Kovacic plays like Coutinho but still like Liverpool no tittle. Lamela was good in Italy but now flop in Englan, Toni was unknow until he’s 28, Pirlo start his ‘real’ career after moved to Milan. Even Sir Alex did sell Pogba to Juventus, and now on of the best midfielder Vidal decided to play for Bayern for almost the same price with Kovacic, but still Juventus is calm and stay strong. Don’t forget they were underrated after Conte leaves them and almost treble winner! We are Inter! Champion! need to comeback to Europe, need to balance our beloved team, every single player, coach and management need support! Even Ronaldo, Ibra, and Mou never bigger than Inter and now Kovacic? of course we lobe them all. Not everyone has loyalty like Zanetti or Totti or Giggs. But we are blessed to have him forever. Don’t curse Inter! or we are just like another Balotelli. Support them (kovacic, shaqiri, coutinho) wherever they go and they will support us as Interisti, who knows one day they will comback for just, just like Tevez to Boca, Flamini to Arsenal, Santon, Andreolli and Mancini to our beloved Inter. Forza Inter per sempre!
well said….
It isn’t Mancini’s fault with Kova maybe shaq but not Kova..this is a financial decision, yes so basically our sporting director ,the one we all came to love,it’s him and the rest of management who manage the financial books..now this deal really…really got me pissed of like I know no player is greater than the club but wow.That transfer probably lost 10% of inter fans money from going to watch matches and another big loss in jersey sales since kova was our wonderkid.If we don’t get a world class striker now many eyebrows would be raised and Mancini trust me you are on a very fine tight rope ONE SLIP NEXT SEASON and you WILL feel the pressure from the fans…Time is something we cannot give to you as neither Shaq or Kova was given time so don’t even start me.With that being said Kova really didn’t look all that good in presseason but then again only a handful of players looked good this preseason…i don’t know If we’re regressing or progressing but it seems like the former rather than the latter.Have we become a selling club? ONE FKING OFFER FROM RM! We didn’t even play hard ball like Wolfsburg,Roma or Fiorentina…EVEN FKING PALERMO RATED UP DYBALA FOR ALOT OF MONEY…this market went from the best to the worst in 2 weeks quite remarkable.
We should sell him for 35m, and buy him back two years from now for 10m 😀
We must invest that money for domenico berardi and cristian eriksen.
we can get berardi for 18 mil-20, eriksen is not for sale
Ok nevermind at least we get the hottest prospect player in serie a
agree but we can’t take him with our formula, so we are not going after him even if we have money from kova s transfer
Yeah. Lets hope thohir makes big investment again.

marca already celbrating real madrid bargin, watched the video with bitterness until realized non of those amazing displayes of Kovacic were under the Loser mancini
Beware! second FUCKING RANT ….
Dear fuckface mancini, your lack of imagination and ability to utalize players coast us dearly, as luckas poldoski showing A to B, scoring on his debute relishing life into Galatasaray… so fuck you for that, fuck you for Shaqiri, fuck you for Kovacic, fuck you for even Teves, he wouldn’t have come to jeventus, if it wasnt for your narrow minded spitful self.. I want Mazzari back, and i want mancini to be stripped of his inter history, new fuck you for starting to destroy Icardi, Kondogbia and for failing to utilize our players in their right position…
beware. f..ing rant ahead ⬇︎
mancini you f.. bi.ch. that greek guy A-something was right all along. this is inter, not a farmer-club. I’m so annoyed over coutinho and now possibly kovacic. I’m so glad i decided to wait until transfer deadline to buy myself a inter shirt. of course i won’t now as the MOST TALENTED player walks out, just as ronaldo did several years ago. inter has become a junior club with monkeys running it. ffs. i really hope inter get quality and exciting players. and a message to mancini: I’m going to be the first one to shout “get out” at the first opportunity i get! and also backing out of salah deal, and backing down for the idiots at fiorentina. I’m starting to develop tourettes here!!
woh .. and i thought i hated mancini lol
the guy we need to bas dost …
Persic scored Wolfsburg first goal against Interacht
Yes please!
So basically 40 million euros inter are receiving
bring cuadrado for 30+ 5 bonus
i agree!
now Real Madrid close publication Marca has confirmed, pissed like never before
we have to invest these money in a better player or we can say bye to europa
its over he Kovacic is Real Madrid player..
players come and go and i dont mind if kovacic go to real madrid for 35m plus bonus. the important thing we need to reinvest with the money.
Forza inter, im sure we will get a better replacement.
i can’t see why real madrid pay 35 m for kova because all kova has is potential, he didn’t show any thing on the pitch, his stat is very weak even guarin has a better stat than him , i hope this transfer turn to be ibra sale2 and we use the money to get mancini the players he want and turn this page
Imo it will be coutiho2
Give Inter a chance, its not like Kovacic is going to Liverpool, he is going to Real. Do you think Ausilio and Mancini had to force him or he went willingly?
Exactly – realistically we cant compete with Madrid financially right now
If this is true, what i really hope is a bad joke, it will be the most stupid move ever. Why? Because 35 million are nothing in today’s market, Real paid 30 for one good right back, but nothing more like Danilo. Creative midfielders like Kovacic are most rare and hard to find players in the world. And he’s so young, with enormous potential and with huge experience on the highest level for his age. I don’t know if we will use those money for future transfers bringing more mediocres Lucas Leiva, Perotti, etc. or for covering Kondogbia, Jovetic, transfers, but we will be in the end weaker, not stronger. And there’s no even simple logic to keep pathetic players like Ranocchia, Guarin, Vidic, Dodo, etc., but selling one of the brightest talents in the world. And in the center of all this are ridiculous demands of Mancini, who again will fail miserably, but we won’t be able to repair all damages who he will produce.
you can’t sell players if no one want them, we keep hearing this team or that team want guarin or ranochia but no one show you the money just like the snieder case
[email protected]
those who cares for Kovacic, write the Curva nord, to march for him so they can save him, there is still time to pull the plug
Dude stop this and better to move on, if the player himself is insisting or is willing to do the transfer then be it and just pray for the coming season
BLOODY SUNDAY!
And then, who’ll we get with this money? Will it be finally Perisic and another decent winger? like Lamela?
Cristian Eriksen
i don’t mind they sell kova as long they get replacement right… 35 + bonus seems right price…
swap with isco + coentrao would be great…
Isco is way better than Kovacic. They probably won’t sell him, if they do, not less than 40
kovacic + 5 million (shaq) then… that would be awesome since we can get rid of hernanes from starting eleven…
Isco for Kovacic + 5 would be a great deal, but i think we’ll just receive money. I don’t see isco leaving but at least i hope we get Coentraho, playing him rather than JJ will give a lot to the team (and he’s only 27 so good for 4 – 5 seasons)
Keep dreaming then
As upset as I am I just think we need to remember 2 things : 1)It’s Real Madrid – when they come for a player 99% of the time they get him 2) 35 – 40 million Euros is a big price to receive – let’s just hope they invest this money on 2-3 quality players
another point bro. Kovacic comes to Madrid to warm their benches! He won’t get opportunities to play as many as he can get in Inter. This is wasting his talent. Inter really make a stupid decision
Whether he sits on their bench or plays makes no difference bud , as long as he isn’t sold to a rival I believe we got a good price. Maybe in 2 years if he doesn’t play for Madrid and Inter are back at a top level we can get him back for a discount.
Ameenn to that bro… The good thing is: this is Madrid, a big spender club that signs 1-2 big names every year. They have so many high profile players in their squad, even players like Isco, Illaramendi, Khedira, and Lucas Silva have to fight their positions. There’s always a possibility for a return
Although after his time in Madrid, Kovacic’s wage demand will be triple his current wage in Inter 🙂
As reported on media already they wont reinvest this money on imbound market, actually they want to fill the Kondo, Jojo deals with this money
It’s been 2.3 years we have been saying he’s gonna improve, become a world class player, but he didn’t . He surely has a great pace and ball control, but his long shot/passing technique is poor, and he does a lot of side / back passing. He’s not that useful to the game. 35-40 milions for him ? This is the best deal we have done this summer. True he’s just 21 but for what i’ve seen on the field (not considering the age) is value is not higher than 15. Thanks Benitez!
FUCK THIS!!! Totally fuckin blunder from Mancini and Ausilio!!! I lost my respect for you, Mancio!!! You don’t know how to respect your players. You promised Shaqiri a great project, but you kicked him out off your plan when he didn’t play well in few games. If you have pride and integrity as a coach, you should give him more chances. Play him in our friendlies instead of freezing him off the squad!!!
And now you sell Kovacic. Are you fuckin kidding me? What’s your excuse? He can’t suit your system? Play him in his true position as central midfielder, not as a playmaker!!! Fund? Sell our shitty players like Guarin or Rano
Splash the cash on Cuadrado and Masuako?
another shity season ahead…….
If it will, it’s beacuse of Mancini and bad signings, not cuz we sold Kovacic.
оfcourse it will be beacuse of Mancini and his fucking style of football
Goodgame Inter ! Goodbye CL and Scudetto
If this is true our mercato will go from good to really really bad
there comes a time where we can’t wait on someone anymore. inter failed to utilize mateo. i take this as a very good opportunity to buy good player. people need to think logically. selling mateo is not a big hit on the team now compared to last year. i wish him the best at real. now we need to look foward and spend the money wisely.
Fully agree. FM fanboys are crying, but let’s be honest, this guy dos not have impact on our game. If we were to sell Icardi, that would be a diffrent story, but Kova? A few glimpses of brilliance in 3 seasons don’t make you big. He is talented but we don’t know if he can materialise it one day. 35+bonuses is good for enigma guy, it’s not 7 we got for Couthinio
Yeah, we could bring back Cou with the kind of money we’ll have soon (assuming the deal really happened.). Thoughts anyone?
those few glimpses of brilliance got him a real deal.
Benitez is not the best manager, I don’t recall a good transfer that he pulled off. I’m afraid Kovacic will end up as some of the talents that went young to Barca and Real and later ended up in some second/third tier clubs. On the other side, they will expect less from him that was expected in Inter, so maybe he will flourish with less presssure, time will tell.
Those glimpses worth EUR 35 million plus bonuses, mind you.
Now, everyone know he is a great talent. A real talent. Imagine if those glimpses intensify? How many millions of EUR will that be?
We could have easily gotten 40-45 mil + we better get a very good signing soon.
that’ll be hard. it’s reported that the fee is 38m+2m in bonuses which is an incredible deal tbh.
It’s just… ugh… I have no words. At least gnoukori is here… *sigh*
we have gnoukouri brozovic medel kondogbia guarin.
as i said before selling kovacic is not a big hit compared to least year. now we have a very good squad and we can be able to lose him.
I say we sell guarin and get a very very good attacking mid
duda it is.
I wouldn’t mind having duda in the squad. I feel like mancio and hernanes can really teach him a lot
think inter will try to buy perisic and a leftback and duda. and maybe a holding midfielder.
I think we will get a winger (peresic), fullback (coentrao), an attacking mid (duda or anyone that’s good) and vice-Icardi
Di Marzio adament that Inter wont reinvest
http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/inter-work-on-coentrao-new-assault-for-perisic-the-latest/
not what it said in his italian portal
Well that’s weird
do you honestly that with the names you mentioned that selling kovacic was right?
pirlo all over again, Kovacic was going to be revelation next season and now at least i can watch him thumping Barca
If kova getting sold for these players, then I’m okay. Was momentarily insane because of the sale
I think we should move for eriksen.
the price is right (if it exceeds 40m with bonuses), the timing… not so much
*sigh* I’m just pissed. I’ve thrown all logic away.
me too. but ultimately i’m happy, because i always imagined Kovacic to shine in La Liga (Barcelona, to be exact). but at Real with Kroos, Modric, James, Casemiro/Silva, Illara, Isco it won’t be easy for him
I always imagined him being great at barca… but I’ve imagined him being successful at inter too…
i think the timing is all because of juan, guarin, androelli all refused to leave and it left inter to selling kova
i’m not sure about that cause we didn’t spend too much this summer, Montoya Jojo and Miranda will be paid in the coming years
i agree, Kovacic didn’t become the leader we wanted him to be, but he was still the source of creativity on the midfield, the one to expect something unexpected from… a CM like that at the right age costs a lot
i’m think inter will try to buy perisic and a leftback and duda and a holding midfielder with his money. i’ll be more upset had we sold icardi. but atm kovacic isn’t that big of a part in the team. i think this is an incredible deal.
duda is a sub at best, we should look for someone who can make an impact right away
that’s why i think we should get him. he doesn’t even fit in a 433. but he’s only 20 years old and has been class in the europa league
yeah i watch Legia games because of Nikolic, he is not bad, but bench at best. btw i think if Wolfsburg sells De Bruyne, i doubt they will let Perisic go aswell, so mancini is going to stick with 4-3-1-2, so a 1st team quality creative player (cm or cam, depends where Hernanes is going to play) is a must
Unfortunately I think that CM is gonna be Lucas now
i don’t care if the cm is lucas, our cm is good enough now.. we need creative player, LB, and a striker to be vice icardi..
if de bruyen 50 mil, Kova worth 60
hell no. de bruyen has 20 assists and 16 goals compared to kovacic’s 6 goals and 5 assists. come on man lol
he did not play under narrow thinking Mancini, and al in all he played, Kovacic didn’t.. only because mancini look so clumsy and had no idea what to do with kovacic , now kovacic is the scapegoat …!!
with the same thinking …
if guarin played under mourinho he would be the best midfielder in the world….. a talented player shines in any system
i can not agree enough with that..
A talented players shine in any system? Now mention to me some of those players.. The closest to me are Ibra, but even the almighty Ibra can’t stand barca’s system… The right statement should be the right players on the right time. LoL
you’re fkn kidding yourself man wow
I think we should of got 40 too!
actualy we even play better without him agains bilbao.. gnokouri looks more promissing than him.. but still sad with this transfer.. 🙁 but we should wait and see who can we bring in with that money..
Hey ez u are the happist one in the middle of this if I’m not mistaken, Cuz remember your comments just in the last news about Kova linking him to Looserpool which was definitely worse than this one, no offense
i don’t want to start the argument with you, but i will support inter no matter what happen.. the club already made the desicion.. you like it or not, live with it.. move on.. it’s no use to complain anymore.. just hoping we can make a good use from this money..
Open your eyes kid, there is no gurantee they will reinvest this in incoming players
i’m not a kid.
those who cares for Kovacic, write the Curva nord, to march for him so they can save him, there is still time to pull the plug
[email protected]
I am also FM FANBOY, I take Inter and I always sell Kova. Even in my FM Kova is not fit with my startegy. So??
RIP NEXT SEASON
Waw brilliant move inter management bravo, good move in selling two highly rated youngsters within a week, excellent
Ahmed, trust me if we spend good those 55mln we won’t regreet. Maybe already starting from this season if we get a good winger (perisic / lavezzi) fb (coentrato) and Cm . I really think we are going in for Coentrao now. ANd Shaqiri at SToke i’m sure he won’t show anything special
Unfortunately we didn’t really get 18 million from Shaqiri as we had to pay Bayern around 15 at the end of season…
Amazing..just fucking Amazing……the season is over even before it have started…This means the real mercato for Inter was to sacrifice Kova, and Shaquiri, to get Kondobia and Jovetic…and pre-season has shown that there is no progress foreward what so ever…The only thing we really strenghten was the defence…Meaning there will be alot of 0-0 and losses for Inter this season. And were back to fight over EL…NOT CL og Scudetto…i bow my head for your stupidity Mancini!!
Sell Handanovic then we can start from serie B …. thanks mancho -_-
hm 35? i would have preferred 40.
we got fooled, once again
Sell for 40mill euros plus bonuses.
No wonder we suddenly chasing leiva all of sudden. This was behind it. Project around kovacic means with the money from sales of kovacic we build a new team. I hope it will be worth every penny! Sad to see talented player leave. First coutinho, then this. Forza Inter!
I would be very glad >>> that i didn’t renew my TV sport subscription.
If this happens it means we are not behaving like a big club, fiorentina threatens and we leave our targets to strengthen another Seria A team, clubs admire our talents and we sell them for the highest bidder while guarin and hernanes enjoy retirement.
that would be pathetic if the news were 0.00001% true… imagine the devastation if sold.
I believe it is true since this would be the first big move for real in this summer. It would be very weird to see Real did not spend any money. But then again, I’m really hoping that I would be wrong dearly.
DISASTER ! In addition of that Real won’t give us Coentrao (confirmed news by Bronzetti). I blame for this transfer Mancini. He had to stick with the regista role of Kovacic and he had to insist to keep and play him all the time. It is a big blow , because we wanted to create our project around Kovacic and Icardi. What are we doing now, we change our project ?
I really hope and am still optimistic that Inter management has a back up plan and will sign really quality players with these money in order to prove me wrong about this transfer.
Please sign Clichy, Perisic and Mertens AT LEAST, and give a chance to Gnoukouri, a real chance however!!!
this really ? if yes i’ll agree with u
“Please sign Clichy, Perisic and Mertens AT LEAST, and give a chance to Gnoukouri, a real chance however!!!”
First Shaqiri then Kovacic? That means we are weaker than previous season???
Why sell Shaq if we were going to sell Kovavic all along, don’t get it.
Because we basically paid for Shaqiri at end of season and then sold him for 2 million more a month later – therefore we didn’t get any real money from his sale.
weaker? they both were harmless last season. kova showed some glimpses, that is it. good deal imo
What the fuck? We better be bringing in someone amazing with that money. Seriously bullshit
yeah, we will. lucas leiva, bianchi, perotti and coentrao
I really hope this doesn’t go through
gg my heart is broken.my life is shattered.AM I DREAMING? pls someone tell me im fucking dreaming …
