According to reports in Spain, Inter and Real Madrid agreed a €30 million fee to allow Mateo Kovacic to return to Inter. Bernabeu Digital however reports that Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane called the transfer off due to being impressed by the 23 year old’s recent performance against Barcelona.

No thank you. Thank you Zizou.
Even if there was any truth to this, then i would rather stick with Joao Mario than to bring back Kovacic aka captain sideways-pass.
If Joao Mario was to be replaced, it should be for a proper goalscoring AM anyways.
Both Kovacic and Joao Mario shoots like a wet noodle.
One of the few times I agree with you
Kova has changed and his scoring is better now
Why has he only scored one goal then?
Lately, he is not a goal scoring threat like banega however
No thanks
If we bought Kova back, then probably we would sell J. Mario.
I would love to see him back! He might not be as strong as kondogbia but at least kovacic has more brains and better passing. His shot outside of the box also better than kondogbia. Watching him play for madrid recently he looks like became more mature. If he dont sign for us at least dont sign for rubentus.
we have the same Pirlo-regrets romance since years ago that makes us always dreaming of having Kova and/or Coutinho back again.
shit, and now barca wanted to buy cou for 100m+.. crazy
Thank corrupt Juventi Platini’s Farcical Fair Play for Inter having to sell Coutinho, Kovacic.
I hate this guy since 1998’s great controversy. If this news is correct, he blocked Kova’s return to INTER, but he approved Kova’s exchange with Dybala. I think he deserved getting what Matrix did to him on 2006.
If you ever notice, Ancellotti also never does Inter any favours on the transfer market, he says he wants to keep the player and then a few weeks later lets them go to another club.
damn…would love to have him back to us
When they say were targeting vidal most of us said that our midfield already packed, no more room for another midfield. But when its kova, we forget that n try to make space for him. Wonder what did kova achieve at his 1st period in here?
Kova is Interisti, Vidal is Rubentino
Been play for us doesn’t make him interisti. Some of footballer are just profesional. They play for the one who pays n give more benefit for them, nothing personal. N so with them both imo.
Lol he said himself that he’s interista even before joining us.
Don’t want him back just for this https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/18f470f254e1ad725a72e243cb8c05bc8a5a64be2bd78b71440d413847b4e3c3.jpg
Then he said the same thing when he join to real. +he said that our training session is boring, dont care if its true or not but clearly isnt look like someone who have passion for our club, imo.
And Vidal has formed part of the spine of sides that have won 6 consecutive league titles, reached a UCL final and played in 3 finals at international level. Remind me what Kovacic has done? That’s right, he’s sat on the bench while Ramos, Ronaldo, Casemiro, Marcelo etc won back to back UCLs
Yeah Yeah an Interist who talks shit about Inter
too much midfielder
This guy has improved under Modric’s mentoring. His latest game against Barca proved he gradually could unleash a beautiful long shot, an attribute that constantly any coach had asked him on his day at Inter. However, somehow, I prefer Nabil Fekir to fill position behind the striker (ss/amc). Nabil shows his calmness as he carries the ball forward and has physical trait that definitely suit well to our league.
Z is saying that now but he’s gonna stuff him on the bench anyways. If Kova was smart he’d request the transfer.
Realistically no coach in their right mind will play Kovacic over any 1 of Casemiro, Kroos or Modric. That decision doesn’t mean Zidane’s words are empty—just makes Kovacic an idiot for believing he’ll be starting man more games than last season
Re Kova was such a joy to watch when he played for us, for me he was unsellable at any price, him and Icardi. But Mancini sold him and said that he’s not happy about it, but it had to be done (total BS), as Mancini just loves to stack 3 defensive midfielders together and leave no place for creativity, and eventually Re Kova was “sacrificed” (more like getting rid of). I hated Mancini for this as I hated Thohir also..
But either this news of Zidane vetoing Re Kova’s return to Inter is false, or the report I’ve read earlier about Real proposing “kova + 80 mils for Dybala” to rubentus is false.How come Zidane was willing to give Kova to rubentus a few hours ago, and wanted to keep him now?!
I wish we can have Re Kova back..
#BringBackKovacic
#RiportareKovacic
Are you serious? A five year old could knock him off the ball. The best bit of business Inter done in years to get EUR 35m for him (in 2015) A good RFB is the priority.
Agree #BringBackKove but, first sign RB #Cancelo
It would be a great show of strength to bring him back. I would be more interested in signing Cancelo.
Utter bs.
bitch ass zidan never liked this rubentino fight me all you want
You can hate players like Zizou and Buffon all you want, but they are legends of the game irrespective of which clubs they played for. They got my admiration and respect
Buffon is an absolute legend like zanetti, vey respectable, but zidan is no legend in my eyes specially after what he did to marco
Well, we agree on Buffon, though for his on-field attributes only I’d rate him above Pupi tbh. Insomuch as Buffon is the greatest keeper of his generation, and arguably the greatest of all time. Pupi is a legend for Inter but he played in the same era as Cafu
yap when we sent them to serie b, he never even talked one shit about us, what a legend
Here’s a scenario for you guys: Aurier + 25 Mill for Joao Mario. Deal or No Deal? For the sake of aggregating the total value, assume Aurier is worth same as the cash portion (25M) for a total value of 50 mill on Joao Mario.
fuck no, we need JM and psg don’t need aurier
Aurier is a prick and a thug. Don’t want that kind of shit in the dressing room
Agree. Prefer Cancelo than Aurier
No, thanks. If we want to sell Mario to PSG, hope PSG would like to give us Draxler, fair enough, not Aurier
If brozo and/or kdog leaves, he can shine again with us
Bs
I don’t like him for saying that Inter is a ‘small club comparing to Madrid’, but for some strange reason I don’t mind his return to us.
When did he say that?
i think when he left for RM
Well we can be salty as much as we want to. He didn’t lie.
When did he say that? he only said that we lack ambition and has no target to win trophies. The one who said about club stature was Modric. He said Inter is a big club but Madrud is bigger.
Well, I have to agree with this, it was a long time ago when I read that, yes, Inter with him had no ambition and he was the best midfielder, that says a lot.
cajka-boy.
Borja is occupying the same position. But I don’t care. I love the lad
Borja will become his mentor 🙂
Shame. But our midfield is stacked anyway.
I know but I’d take Mateo any day.
