NK Domzale director Matej Orazem heaps praise on Inter Milan’s new youngster Luka Topalovic while comparing him to Kevin De Bruyne.

The Nerazzurri have managed to poach the services of the 18-year-old who’s one of the hottest talents in Slovenia.

The attacking midfielder rose through the ranks of NK Domzale and eventually earned a promotion to the first team.

The Italian giants took notice and managed to beat the competition for his signature. Inter announced Topalovic as their new player earlier this week.

For his part, Orazem is certain the Nerazzurri have brought in a truly special talent.

“His ability to read the game is unmatched by what we have seen in our young players,” said the Domzale executive director in his interview with Sportitalia via FcInterNews.

“And we have had many great talents in here. From Sesko to Gnezda Cerin, Nemanja Maksimovic and others.

“Luka’s creativity is also top-notch, which is why he was able to compete on equal terms with the senior-team players from a very young age.

“He has raised many eyebrows throughout Italy and Europe over the past year. Inter knocked on our door in the spring and have been following him for some time.

“The negotiations began in May, I was their guest in Milan too, where we found common ground.

“Of all the clubs, Inter was the one with a concrete project for the player and an acceptable offer for our club.”

Topalovic will initially join Inter’s U19 side. However, Orazem believes he has what it takes to earn a promotion to the senior team.

“I am convinced that he has all the qualities he needs to play in the first team.

“But Inter is a great club, the best in Italy at the moment, so everyone must be patient for Luka to become ready for this level.

“He has already been through a lot as a player with our first team. For instance, he played in all our league games last season, so he should have an advantage in this.”

When asked to compare Topalovic to a famous name, Orazem opted for Man City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne.

“Among the best players around, I would say he reminds me of Kevin De Bruyne.”
