Former Dinamo Zagreb head coach Nikola Jurcevic hailed Inter Milan winter signing Petar Sucic as a ‘complete midfielder.’

In his latest interview with FCInter1908, Jurcevic compared his compatriot with ex-Inter stalwart Marcelo Brozovic.

Petar Sucic signed a contract at Giuseppe Meazza toward the end of the January transfer window.

However, he’ll stay in Zagreb until the summer to facilitate his smooth recovery from a long-term injury.

More importantly, the 21-year-old should gain more minutes at the Maksimir Stadion.

As one of Croatia’s standout talents, he’ll be the next Blazers star to ply their trade at the San Siro.

Before Sucic, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic had left their mark in Lombardy.

Many fans and pundits, including Jurcevic, see the Dinamo Zagreb prodigy as Brozovic’s long-term successor.

Furthermore, he believes this is a match made in heaven.

“I think Inter is the right team for Sucic,” Jurcevic admitted.

“We can see that, for example, with Brozovic, who had a great career at Inter and followed a similar path to Sucic.

“So, I believe Sucic could be a perfect fit for Inter.”

“Sucic is a complete midfielder,” Jurcevic added. “He has pace, technical skills, and can get into the box to score goals.

“He is capable of playing both as a number 6 and a number 8.

“At the moment, I would say he is better suited to playing as a box-to-box midfielder, a number 8 because he has energy and can play both on the right and left side of midfield.

“He is a young player with plenty of room for improvement.

“There is a lot of competition, as Inter has many high-quality players in that area of the pitch.

“But I believe he can establish himself quickly, just as he has done with the Croatian national team.”
