MilanVibes: Modric discusses ‘Milan’s new direction’ with Kovacic amid potential move

AC Milan already have one Croatian maestro in the middle of the pitch, and it seems they could gain another this year. 

There has been a lot of focus on the midfield recently, and it seems Milan may have significant plans for the summer. Both the incoming and outgoing markets could be of interest, and there could definitely be a bit of a reshuffling.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Youssouf Fofana have both been linked with moves away recently, whilst Luka Modric could also depart. However, planning has already begun, with Leon Goretzka’s name heavily liked by those at Casa Milan.

Though, the German is not the only player to note.

Kovacic to Milan?

MilanVibes, as Calciomercato.com relays, reports that the idea of bringing Mateo Kovacic to Milano is becoming more popular, with enquiries already being made.

They are not the only ones to make contact, though. In fact, Modric himself has spoken to his compatriot about joining him at San Siro, with him reportedly ‘very happy’ at the idea of Kovacic arriving in the summer.

Whilst it is unknown what was said exactly, the pair reportedly discussed the ‘new direction’ of the Rossoneri.

In the meantime, Milan are evaluating the midfielder’s fitness issues, after recent injuries, and with Manchester City not against a departure in the summer, it is one to keep tabs on.
