Barcelona want to sign Real Madrid star midfielder Mateo Kovacic

Mateo Kovacic
Kovacic, 23, is set to become one of the future stars of Real Madrid since joining from Inter Milan in 2015.
Many are tipping him to become the long-term replacement for Croatia team-mate Luka Modric at the Bernabeu.

He’s been a big part of Real’s back-to-back winning Champions League campaigns over the last two seasons and was a reliable presence in the centre of the park for Zinedine Zidane’s side in La Liga.
And his good form is thought to have fired him onto the radar of new Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde.
Spanish outlet Don Balon claim the former Athletic Bilbao boss is eyeing a move for the Croatia ace, a move that would make him one of the few players to switch from Los Blancos to Barca, a list that includes Ronaldo and Luis Figo.
But their report adds that Kovacic has no intention of leaving the Bernabeu and the move is a non-starter.

Barcelona are looking for a new central midfielder this summer and have widely been linked with a move for Paris St-Germain star Marco Verratti.
So far there’s been little progress between the two sides despite much speculation.
