DBasia.news – Mateo Kovacic patience to play with Real Madrid has reached an end. It is not like he hates Madrid, but Kovacic couldn’t stand to play with El Real with substitute player status.
Kovacic, 24-year-old, joined Madrid from Inter Milan in 2015, worth €35M. For three years, Kovacic should have played in the squat that won three Champions League titles, one La Liga, and one Spain Super Cup.

However, Kovacic agreed to leave. The reason is clear: Kovacic wants to play regularly as a starter in the main squad, with another club.
“I would like to play more at Real Madrid because I love football and I love being on the pitch. I understand the situation, but because of that, I believe the best thing for me would be to go to another club where I’d have the opportunity to play regularly as a starter. Of course, I am not happy when I don’t play,” said Kovacic to Marca.
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are two clubs interested in this Dinamo Zagreb player. Kovacic is not only had quality, he also has international level experience, scoring 43 caps for Croatian National Team. Currently, he is playing with Croatian National Team for the 2018 World Cup.
