Kovacic is honest in MARCA: "I want to play more and the best thing is to leave Madrid"

Matteo Kovacic, since the happy concentration of Croatia in St. Petersburg, is sincere in MARCA. The Croatian player has given many turns to his decision, but believes that the time has come to leave the Real: "I want to play more and the best thing is to leave Madrid".

There is only one reason for Kovacic's decision and that is to have more minutes on the other side: "I love football and being on the turf, I want the opportunity to be a starter on another team, if I do not play ... I'm not happy" .

The Balkan midfielder, as he tells in the MARCA newspaper on Saturday to Juan Ignacio García-Ochoa , is convinced of his departure. Kovacic is clear and it seems that neither Lopetegui will change his mind.

Mateo has been very happy in Madrid, but he wants to play to be even more so. At the Bernabéu they think that Croatia's 8 is a future player, but he is in a hurry. The interview in its entirety and exclusively, in your MARCA diary this Saturday.

Kovavic, Martial, Bale, and Modric >

In the words of our fearless leader, it's time to be brave*!!!

:wacky:

*smash cut to August when we all find out "be brave" always meant an intention to spend LESS money on incoming transfers

Ali Gold has said that as far as he knows Spurs have no interest in Kovacic. He gets solid info.

Well that would be truly baffling.

He's exactly the profile, standard and position we should be doing all we can to get in.

Honestly not seen a lot of either so I'll ask is this dude preferable to the savic dude or are they polar opposites ?

He's been played out of position at DM to cover for Casemiro which makes fuck all sense; that would piss him off too. Much better in a 3 as a Pogba-type midfielder. Him next to Eriksen could be dope.

You'd think it would be something we would look into if the release clause is true. He clearly wants out and we've wanted him before.

I feel he is in the price range however where the likes of Juve or Bayern can turn the players head with guaranteed success and broker a deal with Madrid, similar to James Rodriguez.

Does he want out? I thought he was being groomed as Modric’s replacement and his chance was about to happen.

Hasn't he shot down pretty much every transfer rumor at this point? Club clearly sends him stuff to deny for a reason.

I've not watched him at all for Real, but I always thought he was a bit underwhelming at Inter. I remember him going missing for games and getting lost in the big ones. He always had raw potential but I was very surprised when Real picked him up. Didn't think he could cut it. How has he been for Real? Does anyone who watch La Liga have any insight on him?
