Mateo Kovacic like Coutinho? In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport former Inter player Thiago Motta talked about the Croatian’s move to Real Madrid: “Kovacic goes to Real Madrid, I don’t know if he will have as much space as Coutinho (at Liverpool, ed). He seems to be a great player even though I don’t know him. At Inter he didn’t do what he can do, but I don’t think it was all his fault. His failure to perform may have depended on many things: the club, the teammates or maybe it also depended on something he is missing. I wouldn’t know. But he seems to be a good signing for Real. They have so many players that make the difference like Kroos or Modric, Kovacic may well be one of these.”

Then about his own future: “I respect the words of my President who spoke a week ago, but I disagree. The transfer market is open. If I can be the substitute of Kovacic at Inter? I repeat: I’m open to everything.”
