Kovacic to Real Madrid is the deal of the day and the two teams are working to close the deal which will see the talented Croatian joining the Spanish side. According to Sport the Inter player was not the Real Madrid first choice this summer. The first choice was Wolfsburg’s talented Kevin De Bruyne. The Germans are known not to give any discounts when it comes to their asking prices, (as Inter are well aware of) and they refused to consider any offer below 70 million euros for De Bruyne. This made Florentino Perez decide to invest in Mateo Kovacic to please Rafa Benitez. Sport reports that Inter and Real are very close to finalizing the deal, a matter of hours.
