1) Mateo Kovacic
What have the papers been saying: Reports in Italy suggest that we’ve agreed a fee with Inter Milan for the transfer… haven’t we heard that before? The Croatian has been closing in on a move to the Reds for about two weeks now and we wouldn’t be surprised if we weren’t the only ones bored of reading the same old story.
Could it actually happen: Yes – you have to think that there is some truth in this one. He’s very much the sort of player Brendan Rodgers likes – young with great potential who will work well in our pressing style – and Inter Milan seem at least slightly open to the prospect of selling. Don’t expect it to be anywhere near as close as the tabloids would have you believe – this could be one that goes right to the wire – but we think we’ll get there.
