Value For Money…
According to the original report, Milan are desperate to fend off interest in top scorner Mauro Icardi, and that has seemingly left Kovacic available. Considering his age and potential, it’s hard to argue with the £21m price tag.
Steven Gerrard Replacement…
Liverpool are desperate for a midfielder with the quality to be a long-term successor to Steven Gerrard, who will of course leave us for LA Galaxy at the end of the season. Kovacic is big, powerful scores goals, assists and shares many of the other worldly attributes of our skipper – if not yet the refinement. Can you imagine him playing alongside Emre Can in five years time…?!
Versatility…
He’s been used as a playmaker, a winger, and even a holding midfielder. His plus points include both his physicality and technical prowess, making him an even more exciting prospect for the Reds. Rodgers loves players who can play anywhere, and Kovacic fits that bill.
