Report: Real Madrid midfielder offered to Irons

|

KovacWest Ham have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Croatia international Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid.

And although the £30 million price tag is not on the Spanish giants are allegedly ready to allow him join a new club on a loan deal.

The 22-year-old Croatia international is also on offer to Everton and Juventus but is interested in a move to the Premier League.

Kovacic is a box to box player who can also play as the holding midfielder and has an edge to his game which could be suited to England.

He was bought by Rafa Benitez from Inter Milan but has struggled for games alongside Madrid’s stellar cast and wants to kickstart his career.

    Don’t think there’s much in this report tbh, but would be a great shout in my opinion. Great player from what I’ve seen and worth a loan deal with option to buy

    Yeah he looks to have a lot of promise, definitely not the finished article yet even though he is in the national team, a years loan would be a good shout.
