On his own website, Gianluca Marzio reveals the background to the deal that is bringing Mateo Kovacic to Real Madrid: the deal was born last night and was brought forward by Mamic, the midfielder’s agent. There had been no contacts between the clubs before last night, when a first e-mail Real Madrid was delivered to the Inter: 25 million euro plus bonuses was the first offer, which was raised to 32 plus bonuses in the morning. Inter keeps asking for 35 million and therefore the parts are really very close: final details to be fixed, with the president Thohir who has already given the go ahead for the affair. And there is another back story: during the week Inter had already set an appointment with an English club, so Real has beaten the competition.

Fuck tohir fuck mancini. Im done!!!
We are or were suppose to b building a team for the future according to tohir. Well Mr president u r not bigger than inter and u have betrayed us unless u bring a world class player in
Just to highlight how stupid this move is, 35 mil euro is about 25 mil pounds. The same amount Roma is offering for Zouma, Chelsea for John Stones. Fucking defenders!!
Seriously, how many players out there that has the creativity of Kova, and can come for a lower price than this? Fucking joke. There’s no logic behind this transfer. Whole management are shit. Thohir is a fucking joke of an owner, making empty promises. Building a young inter my ass
Milan paid 25 for fucking Romagnioli, with one good season in mid table team in his miserable career!!! I’m telling you, this is Pirlo number two and all who support those stupid move very soon will regrets, but Mancini continues to ruin our good future project!
The price of 35 mil euros is acceptable.. Goodbye kovacic. Goodluck for your career and wish u all d best and become one of the best player in the world. Forza Inter
What? No!!! Come on, I was so excited for this season and Kovacic finally being surrounded by quality players to really show what he can.
I am shocked by some inter fans here, if you love kovacic so much GO SUPPORT REAL MADRID NOW, WE DONT NEED YOU AS INTER FANS. Kovacic played under 3 coaches in almost 3 seasons. So he played in different systems and failed in all of them. He continue to have to many touches in midfield, do not defend and got a low work-rate. He is not suited for Serie A. Strama had problems finding a place for him, Mazzari did not have a clue on where he is best suited and now Mancini tried every position and even tried different formation to see where Kovacic could shine.
We played some good teams in Europe in pre-season and we only won one game, Kovacic did not play in that game and we scored 2 goals. We scored only 1 goal with Kovacic in our team, what creativity are you all speaking about. What a bargain inter, we got back the money we spent on kondogbia and got a great talent in Gnoukouria
iam wondering what a quality you see in Gnoukouria … what creativity he add to the squad … he makes just regular passes in CM role , go watch alfred danken … we spent three seasons on kova .. thats right and he deserve it … its the time to get the best of him in our team not watching him with others … just believe in our talents …. its the coaches mistake not to get the best from their players like many did with inter players (R.carlos , recoba , sedorf , cannavaro , cotinho , kovacic and a lot more …..) on the other hand morinho made milito the best striker in the world … snieder best playmaker as well …please. don’t tell me its kova mistake
fuck you, thats what I think.
Cause they are all shit coachs thats why, we are all upset bcz we just let go a potential world beater this easily, this is going to bite us in the fucking ass just like pirlo
we are selling him to make up for the spending this summer, so i dont expext all of the money will be spent. far from it im afraid.
Don’t tell The next will be Icardi ! You assholeee
Great job Thohir.What’s next?Selling Appiano Gentile?And for those who consider it a good deal Liverpool sold Sterling(who wanted desperately to leave) for 43 mil pounds.That’s what i call a good deal
Apparently kovacics sale is used to cover the money already spent, meaning no kovacic replacement, no mr x and no perisic since we still cant afford him. We will probably end up with borini or some shitty player
I hope that this transfer will collapse, like stupid Guarin-Vucinic exchange, even if fans have to put a pressure. I don’t know, what Mancini, management and Thohir are thinking, but there’s some things that are not for sale and not everything is business. You can’t buy people like captain Zanetti, for example! Doesn’t have to mention, that this is bad business, when you selling cheaply one of a few creative players in your squad, when your biggest problems is how to score. And will going to buy with those miserable amount mediocre players.
40 mil for kova is quite a good deal
He will never be expensive as Ronaldo neymar transfers
Losing him paves the way to address more urgent issues for Mancini’s system
Vidal cost 40 million and he is one of the best midfielders. Look we’re getting 40 and that’s quite a lot
Vidal is almost 29.
I don’t know why some Inter fans don’t understand AGE!
Sterling was sold 48m to Man City. Does that make him better than ViDal?! NO
How many assists this “creative” guy had? I understand all the emotions, but let’s talk about facts – he is replaceable
exactly everyone here gets soo upset cos he has all this “potential”, 35 million (i think?) for a guy who has flashed potential every blue moon is a fantastic deal if u ask me….
We are angry not bcz of his current stats but his potential, we all know that he can be something special. Right now he is like how iniesta was befote he became iniesta that we all know.
And how many assist had “creative guy” Pirlo, before we made “the most stupid deal in the century” selling him to Milan? And after all, do you think that this was a good deal? As i sad before, there’s things that are not for sale and we’re not Udinese or Bologna to feed bigger clubs, selling our best talents. Almost everybody is replaceable, but we can’t replace Kovacic with miserably 35, what about to bring more quality. Real paid 30 for one simple good right back like Danilo, how’s that compared to Kovacic amount?
If he failed another season, we wouldn’t recover 15M we invested in him. That’s exactly what we are at the moment, we are like Udinese for the big teams that have budgets 5 times the size of ours.
Time to bring perisic and coentrao as well as an actual good vice icardi.
These deals will make up for the loss of mateo
you need minimum 2 wingers and LFB with tiago mota or j. martenes from buyern munch
My take: Perisic, Lamela, Motta, one LB.
Berardi, coentro, eriksen / vasquez.
This could be the end. If Real are truly interested I can’y see Kova staying 🙁 They can afford to match any asking price and, unlike Barca, have no transfer ban.
The next galactico—Kovacic?
If we can get arround 40 for him (35 + bonuses) that would be a good deal. Gnoukuri is younger than him and plays better. Btw, we need Melo/Leiva type of player – you don’t win games just with talent, you also need experience
We need attacking mids -melo and leiva are more defensive
True, I woukd get one of them and AM, like Vazquez or sth. If we can bring LB, AM and a winger, I would be very happy. This deal may also be good for Kova, as he will have less pressure in Madrid, playing with all their stars. Anyway, I think he will flop, cause Real usually buys ready made players, rarely they develop somebody
He would have done better at barca that’s for sure and YES TO VAZQUES!
Yes for Vasquez and BERARDI .
I wish thohir would surprise us even more if he signed an even better player like verratti!
yes…now we’re talking..he’s the player we need ,no matter how much it cost.
Fuck back to your country . We are not here watching you make money !!!!! Oh shit. Fuck you man
its over, he is real madrid player, FUCK YOU MANCINI, FUCK YOU THOHIR
Replaying “Coutinho”‘s song !!!!!
once again coutinho gets brought up, DONT BELIEVE THE STUPID EPL HYPE HE ISNT THAT GOOD!!!!!
He isn’t that good?! OOh Really ? mmm ok, guess D’ambrosio is 🙂
tell me his stats in all competitions at liverpool and tell me how he’s soo good, trust me here in aus all they show is the fkn epl so i watch him when liverpool is on, he does one spectacular thing every so often and everyone loses their minds he’s still very inconsistent
At least he’s Better than half of our squad if not 2/3 :s
yes he is, wtf are you smoking?
i hope we dont get a melo type(30-50 years old) midfielder and give gnoukuri a chance,he deserves it
