    Allegri, Marotta want Kovacic at Juventus, Real negotiations soon

    Allegri, Marotta want Kovacic at Juventus, Real negotiations soon

    It's official: not only are Juventus' two transfer gurus, Giuseppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici (especially the latter), enthusiastic about Mateo Kovacic, but so is Coach Max Allegri. 

    The Livornese coach has okayed the possibility of signing the 22-year-old, and likes him both in terms of creating an advantage in midfield and playing in front of the defence. 

    Eighteen months ago, Allegri praised the Croatian benchwarmer, saying that he had a "great future in front of him, and one of the few who can beat his man with his first touch". 

    This was on January 5th, 2015, just a few hours before Inter and Juventus faced each other, drawing 1-1 with Kovacic playing a starring role. 

    It looks like the Bianconeri and Real will have a lot more talking to do this summer. And not just about Alvaro Morata, either.
