Gianluca Di Marzio clears the water on why Piero Ausilio met with the agent of Mateo Kovacic today.
It reportedly is not what most think it is about (a Liverpool transfer offer).
Inter want Dynamo Zagreb’s Ante Coric, an 18 year-old midfielder with a huge potential. His agent, Mario Mamic spoke with Ausilio today. Kovacic and Coric share the same agent in Mamic, as do most current and former Dynamo players.
“The young Croatian renewed his contract recently with Dynamo Zagreb (until 2020) but Inter are trying seriously,” said Di Marzio
He spoke on the rumors that the meeting was about a possible Kovacic transfer:
“Mancini’s no. 10 on the table? No, not at all, although he was seen in the hotel.”

Author’s note: As to why Kovacic was in the same hotel? I find it perfectly normal for a player to be meeting with his agent when they are in the same city. I am sure, however, that some word on Kovacic may have been had between Mamic and Ausilio, hopefully with a “yeah..NO” regarding a transfer away. Also, the “ic’s”, and Balkan’s in general have done pretty well at Inter so far, so bring on Coric.
What do you make of the report? Comment below!

I really hope we get him. But at this point, its properly to early to tell. Allot of players are being connected to Inter and are gonna be, in the coming month. But this is a player I truly hope that we get..
finally some good news!
get him Ausilio! before Juve is on our way (again)
get him
he is good, and if Kova gone, he’ll be far more useful than him.
Reminds of of Verratti.
could be the son of Nedved according to this pic. 😉
If we manage to hold on to our players, I’ve attempted to make a team with minimal signings that could still be competitive.

Not too bad
young and very talented – rather stay away from mancini
I like to seem him in Inter plus I like to see Kova stays
But do we really need him? …
I think the best thing to do with players like these is buy them and then loan them out to the same club, so he stays there an extra season but we already signed him so no other club can snatch him.
He’s still 18 and it’s better to be playing than sitting on inter’s bench.
but Inter can’t affford to spend (from Inter’s financial point of view) a moderate amount (let’s say 4-6m) on a player who won’t even play for us right away. looking at our squad, every penny counts. altho like you said, that would be the smart move…
(i think) if a player is registered as a primavera is different .
He’s a huge potential, better than Kova was at the age of 18 but I don’t want him to come to Inter because Inter will only screw him up.
Coric is a huge prospect. Could be better than Kovacic himself.
This dude , duda , darder and donald duck :)))) we should get them all
goal.com make couple weeks ago artcle about him..and they said everthing tha we croatians already kow..this kid will be bigger that any croatian midifled…mark my words
really?? Is he really a big talent? Great to hear from someone who actuelly knows the boy
yeah he is in first team in dinamo zagreb..they won chamionship whit no losses,cup…croatian and jurnalist predict great future…but dinamo wants 20 mil for him..and that is “little” 2 much for us right now
Kova is waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than him ,,
better eye , passing , shooting , tackles and technique
this kid only better in 2 ways , his heart and how he like to shot a lot
Kova is 3 years old!
i am talking about when Kova was at his age and even younger 🙂
He looks badass
go get him
He truly is a wonderful talent. Maybe could act as hernanes’s vice in trequartista role.
There are other articles saying liverpool and Ausilio met to discuss Kovacic. If they sell him, especially if it’s for a low amount, I’ll stop supporting inter 🙁
dude i mean no offence..stop calling ur self interista if you behave like that..it’s break my heart when i knew sneijder leave this club..but till now i keep supporting inter even this club become a mediocre..no matter what happen inter is always bigger than the players itself..IMO..
Hahah no offense taken, I was purposely being over dramatic.
But truly would be disappointing if he leaves. I hope inter have a better summer transfers this year. They need to be ambitious if they don’t want to be left behind as they currently are
No one is bigger than the club my friend!
Well the Argentina Era for Inter is coming to an end.. Is this the Balkans era for Inter ? 😀
branca seems to like Argentinean players alot more than ausilio . but in fact we are monitoring 5 Argentineans : mammana,kranevitter,curillo,driussi,celleri. :))) in collaboration with chievo verona
yep it seems like Chivo will be our future feeder-club for young players and players without a EU-pass port
it’s a win win for sure . they lack quality players and we will provide them to chievo .
It could look like it, but we already have had some Balkan players in recent time. And they done good in Inter. Always loved the Serbian and Croatian players..
Good but lets focus more on Duda,that guy seems like one special talent
Nice, go grab him!
