There are reports today that Liverpool are on the verge of snapping up Inter Milan’s star midfielder Mateo Kovacic. The talented 21 year old is coming off the back of his best season to date with Milan, scoring 8 goals and providing his team mates with 3 assists.
According to a number of sources, the Reds have sent ‘officials’ to meet with Inter over the weekend to discuss a transfer for the player who has been tracked by a number of top clubs this season.
The midfielder is thought to be available for around £25 million and, while Inter are outwardly expressing no desire to sell the Croatian star, they are believed to be willing to listen to offers in the hopes of selling to begin their own spending ‘spree’ in the summer.
While there is no doubting that Kovacic is talented, and many Reds fans would be pleased with his signing, it seems odd that Liverpool are moving so fast to sign a player whilst the manager’s future is still under question.
The club are to meet with Rodgers soon to discuss the past season in the club’s end of season review shortly and many believe that Rodgers will be moved on, provided the club can secure the services of another manager.
But whether the club are to retain Rodgers or move for another coach, making moves for players behind the seems would seem to be highly counter-productive, considering that the failures in the transfer market were cited as one of the main reasons behind the Reds failed season.
If Liverpool sign kovacic, kjaer and benteke in the summer we will be looking at this line up
. Mignolet
Skrtel kjaer Sakho
. Lucas
Hendo. kovacic
. Coutinho
Ings benteke Sturridge
That wouuld mean a better season next year for sure
We need rid of the FRAUD called Rodgers to progress,a manager who plays with a garbage goalkeeper,a LB,2 CBs and 7 MIDFIELDERS against any Premier League club NEEDS SACKING ASAP !!! Stoke City 6 v 1 Liverfraud…
Please Liverpool should release LUCAS…. he is just not good in that team people like ALLEN, BORINI, LAMBERT etc.. Should be sold?
Liverpool should change Rodgers and find professional manager if not will be
ever failar in the title challenge.
just let rodgers stay he is still a good manager ………. the likes of ballo and rickie etc let them go and have other lethal strikers and hope for more next season
