Where did we get 15 million euros from? And to offer that to a 18 year-old? This is all madness. According to Sky transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, that money is saved up for Paulinho. “Andrea Stramaccioni pushed very hard to sign Kovacic. Inter decided to spend the money saved up for Paulinho to make this investment,” said Di Marzio.
The main goal of Inter this month has always been signing a quality midfielder and many believe that Inter have exactly that in Mateo Kovacic.
