Journalist Massimiliano Nebuloni has revealed what happened last night after the Champions League match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich for Sky Sport 24.
“Ausilio and Braida spoke last night at dinner about Mateo Kovacic. Luis Enrique really likes the Croatian, although to date there is still no deal given that Barcelona are currently under a transfer ban until January 2016.”
“The foundations have been laid for the future should Inter decide to sell the midfielder. The only non-transferable player for Roberto Mancini is Mauro Icardi and if a concrete offer where to come in, Kovacic could be sacrificed.”

sell Guarin + Kuz, sacrifice Handa…
don’t make a same mistake like coutinho,
just saying
It makes me sick people comparing Coutinho with Pirlo..would u have Coutihno back for 10m ?I don’t think so
selling him with 30 million $ it will be good deal , he is just good player but not a great player and he can’t take the team to high level , kova stoped developing his skills , and we need to that money to fix defense’s issue
Please named other big club who sacrifice a worderkId?? NONE!! Otherwise they add some great player into squad
For me, its a paradox. We understand the need to build Inter for the future by put the foundation on young players, but at the same time (sometimes) the supporters and management can’t have a patience on the young players. Young players need a room and trust to improve. This condition worsen since FFP, when we have to go back to CL as soon as possible to starting improving the income. Then we need experience players.
I am against the idea to selling Kova and other young stars. I prefer we have a young guns and combine it with experience player in every department. I hope we can more rely on our academy. 🙂
NO NO NO, We have to stop giving away our gems! Good lord why are all of sudden making ourselfs look like straight up idiots. I can go on forever, this honestly more than hurts….. Words can’t even explain. DONT SELL MATEO.
Mancini is a big joke. That’s it. Yes Icardi is important to Inter but how come Icardi is non transferrable while Kova becomes a 77min benchwarmer? Sack Mancini is the right thing to do now but I doubt this will not happen. So sell Kova is ok we are wasting Kova’s precious time of grow now.
Your memory is a very short one,have you already forgotten that under Mancini we won 3 serie a titles,2 italian cup and 2 super cup in 4years.
We were a dominant force like Juve is today.
Kova is a bench warmer even in the Croatian national team because he has not improve with time…Mancini is building a team that can take us back to those days.
I start to watch inter in 2009 and didn’t watch Mancini’s glorious days before that so I can not be too sure about Mancini’s old inter. What I know is that all the rivals was heavily punished or religated and we got Ibra from Juven. That makes it much easier to win in Serie A. Out side Serie A, inter was not performing at all. Mancini’s Job in big money spending Mancity was just so so and pretty bad in Calatasry. So my reasoning is that Mancini was more lucky than capable in his past.
How to judge Kova is a personal thing and I did necessarily think there should be just one viewpoint. Personally I think those who think Kova should be a bench warmer don’t understand the beauty in soccer.
ITS NOW OFFICIAL !!! BREAKING NEWS!
Inter Milan and Roma are among several clubs who have agreed to pay fines and have their European squad sizes limited for upcoming seasons after breaching Financial Fair Play rules.
The biggest maximum fines were handed out to Inter (€20 million)
CONGRATS MANCIO!!! YOU FUCKED US AGAIN WITH YOUR SMART WINTER TRANSFER WINDOW DEMANDS!!!
Slow down friend, Actually it is 6 mil euro that can be 20 mil for maximum
Okay, I just found out about this news. We got fined around 14 mio and squad reduction to 21 players. Now I wonder how FIGC can help us since it’s not only Inter but also Roma.
The natural style of play that kovacic implements, is more of barcas tiki taka and most likely will fit right in a team that plays that type of football. I like kovacic, but maybe Italian football does not suit him as much. Not saying that he should be sold, but he would benefit more in that type of league.
Given his talent, he can peform in any league. He just needs more playing time.
i don`t get way everyone are so in love with this kid.. Yes he has a tallent but here in inter he hasen`t don so much. and sorry Manico will not use him next season, SELL Kovacic
But you forgot, that if Mancini continue to fail miserably, he’ll be without a job before Christmas. Why we have to selling Kovacic in this case?
I`m sorry but you’re wrong.. Thohir has given Mancini all the time in the world, it`s funny now that Mancini is going to sell Kova everyone will hate him. And everyone will want him out, Kova will never get any play time under Mancini. Why we need to sell him, becuse there are other player`s out there a bit older then him with more experience. what is so special with Kovacic ?
Him, Himself
I hate to say this.. but we must sell Kovacic while there’s a big offer. He’s not in Mancini tactics. Let another Pirlo story. Mancini more interest with Yaya Toure. And for GOD sake, please sell Guarin.
Nobody knows if Mancini will continue to be our coach for a long time, if he continue to do the same as this season! Mancini probably have interest in Messi too, but it’s impossible for us to give 32 years old player 4 years contract with 8 million per year.
This kid won’t grow in seria a… his playing style just doesn’t work here – it would be better for him to go to barca to actually shine. Damn the management saying we have to build a squad off of kova… gave us too much hope.
as long as R.M our coach, there slightly any chance he will be a starter. its sad to see if he does leave, but if he makes it big somewhere else, we got another “that went away” topics slap in Inter face particularly R.M.
sell him for 100 mil and everybody is happy
You read my mind, Sir!
I remembered when we loss Ibra. I felt very dissapointing that moment. But then, we got treble that season. It was an unforgetable season. For me, as long as we get big offer for kova, that’s ok we sell him. We can build a good team to fight with rube for scudetto next season.
change coach is better than sell kova. Need coach to play tiki taka. Kova like iniesta..
Well i’m against selling him but if we are going to do it anyway we shouldn’t recieve less than £ 40m. In a football world were bale worths 100m and ozil 60m kovacic should be at least 50m
i would not sell him even for this kind of money if i need to watch guaro all matches next season too!
your logic isnt right….why would someone paid 50 mil for player who is on bench almost every match???sure i love kovacic but now i see that italian football isnt good for him…we need to seel him while we can and seel him good…pedro and song for me is a good job
Yeah. That’s what we said when we were selling pirlo and coutinho …
Guarin is better than Kovacic?I don’t think so! I just want to remind you Pirlo and Coutinho were our players before SO WE WANT TO THIS STUPID SHIT AGAIN???
Sell Guarin!! Not him
How about we keep the young players, get rid of the dead wood and most importantly the fans have patience. none of this fans attacking the players shit – because that is what forces the club to buy expensive players to improve results. They then have to sell the Kovacic’s to pay for these big names. Inter have some good young prospects but they need a chance, and the fans need patience and need to realise the position we are in.
thats why i am angry all the time at mancini,because we continue to play like shit and looses points but our youngsters continue to be benched! kovacic make one good match and then his reward for next is bench, gnoukuri the same…we can play him against roma,but noo against chive he is not that good….manciologic!!!
who would buy guarin, kuz, johny, or yuto? it is very sad that someone as promising as mateo might be sacrificed, but how else can we raise funds. even if we manage to get the maximum price from all the rejects, who can we bring in that is of higher quality? we’ll just end up bringing in more benchwarmers. if we keep bringing in players like schellotto and rocchi then we will never reach great heights. we only have three players to sell; mateo, mauro and samir. which one would you choose?
oh man even luis enrique can see kovacic potentials where is those haters who said kova is headless chicken they’re loses their minds! this young man can be world class star in near future we should keep him and let guarin or kuz go.
How about we sacrificed Guarin and Mancini instead Kovacic?
How about we sacrificed Guarin and Mancini instead Kovacic?
no one is not for sale atm. if the right offer come even icardi can be replace. so if you wanna kova to stay, maybe you can help to sale guarin with good money then maybe we can kept kova.
I wish I can help Inter to sell Guarin, but unfortunately I can’t.
yup, that’s why we stuck with guarin with his high salary. I think if there’s good offer for guarin, the management will sell him at first place.
actually there was real offer from 17mil by atl madrid in winter transfer window but ”smart” mancio said no! guaro is my bitch and i will play him all the time! in that time guaro just scored 2 goals in 3 matches or something like that i dont remember exactly.
never heard, maybe some link will help to refresh me, as far as I know there’s just rumour and I remember there’s real offer (dont know from where) but the bid isn’t that high.
and I can understand why we play him regularly, maybe bcause we already pay him a lot.
how about kova for pedro + montoya
sounds good… but how about pedro + Munir ??? 😀
How about Pedro + Rakitic and some cash like 20 M maybe? 🙂
i think too first, but no way barca let rakitic out, so the possible is pedro n munir or song..
even if we can get only Rakitic for Kova and no money it we’ll be a good deal.
How about Pedro + Rakitic and some cash like 20 M maybe? 🙂
remember coutinho? history repeat itself
Is Coutinho an all star at the moment?…I don’t think so
surely not at the moment but he is better now.
take pirlo then for an example
Fans either have patience and inter hold Kova or if they want instant success get rid of him and try an older proven player. I am for patience.
so you have a lot of patience then! Inter have been sucking ever since 2011 and we are only getting worse!
we need a total revolution in the player squad this summer, and if we can get good money from the bench-warmer Kovacic, so be it!
Coutinho has been Liverpool’s talisman this season and probably their best player. He has also arguably been a top 10 player in the EPL this season. His value has increased 5-fold since we sold him a few years ago.
He has been got for 5 games… Everyone shit their pants when he was in the pfa team of the year… He didn’t deserve it.
yepp, and playing in a team fighting for 6-5 place, like ours….
he was selected for Dunga’s Selecio. that has to be something to credit with.
and for 30 years you guys will still talk about coutinho..what about roberto carlos??what about pirlo??what about what about what about…history didnt repeat because coutinho was sold for 8 milion and if kovacic would be sold it would be for 30…so how is history repeat itself??
so what? no one win anything with youngsters! how many youngsters do Bayern gave in there starting eleven, Barca, Juve, Real, Chelski??? how many did we have in the trible winning team.
yes as they say history have a strange way of repeating itself
remember recoba?skillfull but never perform for a season with inter.
I can’t understand what kind of logic we used that Kovacic can be sacrificed and Guarin must be in “winning” starter. In Kovacic Case I think we just used him as bargain tool when offered him contract extension rather than TRUST him as key player.
for the sake of the team, every one can be sacrificed, not only kova that never give anything to the club, yet. even ibra who bcome our protagonist for years and give us many trophy and morati who give everything also being sacrificed. cause no one is bigger then the club.
Totally agree with u brother, it’s not personal, it’s just good business
Ibra has been sacrificed because he didn’t want to play with us anymore and he said he want a challenge. I remembered when Inter already make him our number 10 but in the end he leaving us to joined Barcelona and then we got our treble’s squad. We got Eto’o + big cash, Milito, Sneijder. In Kovacic case, he didn’t want to leave us and we didn’t have him play latety. Have a faith with our promising youngster and hope they become a world class player is nothing wrong with that. In the end, we don’t have a faith and trust to our player. You are right, no one is bigger than a club, but sometimes players make the club bigger.
Well said
Thanks buddy
sacrificed is needed when it come to chose between player interest and the club. and in kova case, I think that’s clear that we need money to build competitive team asap. so its not about kova, if there’s good offer come for guarin, kuz, rano or even icardi..then I think management will think about it. why?becos were use “sell before buy” policy. in ideal condition, of course we want to keep all of our key players, but can’t do that atm.
about trust the youngster, I think its back to our current financial issue, back then maybe we can give treatment like what we did to recoba, keep him since he’s young til he’s retire just becos we love him. but now is different.
and I respect your opinion that sometimes player make club bigger, but I stay with mine. coz with or without all player that you mention above, our inter is still great inter. for me those player, are the one who should thanks to inter becos inter makes them great player.
how one team can be something without that kind of players. if those players were not in inter so maybe inter will be chievo type of team now… we would never be great without our icons! and all the fans that started to support the team just because they loved playing style of some of the players and lately became true inter fans for years would probably never imagine they can support inter. nobody choose to support any team because they just decide so. you love the style, passion, support , and deducation in the game from the players! those players are in foundation of the team , not players like rano, guaro and so on who will never be remember after they retire.
thats exactly what ibra said to moratti when he leave. that without him, inter will not win anything. but everyone know what happen next.
so without those player inter will find another one, but how could those become great if he never play with inter?
don’t get me wrorng, I respect the legend, but still they’re not bigger than inter itself. even the legend themself know it.
I do agree with you in many sense, an unknown talented players can be a big player when they start to play in a big club like Inter. 😀
True that no one is bigger than club but don’t forget that Fans and Player who make club bigger. In the metter of Business we have to increase our fans basis especially in Asia. The problems is Fans nowdays think Serie A is less prestige than premiere league or La Liga. We have to admit that inter doesn’t have player who can grab newbie Fans and have high value marketingly even worse our “attractive” gameplay doesn’t impress newbie fans. We still have “history” but we have to invest for future sustainability. In my opinion we should make “Inter Messi” who will be loved by newbie fans and Player like Kovacic, Icardi, shaqiri is one of the few qualify player that Inter have and we have to give them trust. I Hate JUVE but they are 2 step ahead than us.
if we want to get new fans, expand it, I think we need more then “inter messi” because we’re not champ team atm like barca, madrid or city and we play in the less prestige league then BPL or laliga. so if we want to talk bout getting new fans, then we must make inter competitive and to become competitive we must have 11 good team player. if, by selling one quality player that we have, can give us 2 or even more good team player, I think we should take it.
and once again, its not about kova, but its about build competitive team asap.
Yet a club like Barca is very interested to spend big money to buy a bench warmer level player who never contributed to a 9th positioned inter in Serie A?
Your logic is strange,
IDIOT!!!
Seems like we have not learned from our mistakes, we have sold alot of
good or great youth players. I’m tired of Inter coaches selling all our young players to replace them with mediocre/washed up players who are expensive. After this yr we will finally be getting rid of alot of dead weight and it seems like Mancini wants to drag us back into the same mess by looking at some of the transfer rumors. I hope I am wrong.
for every coach with little mind in his head kovacic is non-transferable player and icardi can be easily replaced , for mancio its the opposite!
What has Kova done?
He needs time baby, did u forget about his games during Strama days?
im croat bu i agree whit nectro…inter is ruining him…italian football is all in tactict and kovacic is fantasista,he wants to play football and in italy he cant do that…we must secrifice someone to buid team for next season
this team is dead and sacrificing kova will not revive it…the team is smelling from his head -mancio, rano, guaro, d’ambrosio, kuz, johny, campa, palacio, dodo, carrizo, felipe… even medel is not good in dmc he will be better in dc position despite his height, he is like cordoba…
Medel is a great dmf dude…..he’s a beast.
We have too many players to be sacrificed already, should i name a few?
