Manchester United have mainly been linked with Real Madrid star Alvaro Morata but now reports suggest that the Red Devils are interested in another Los Blancos star in the form of Mateo Kovacic.
According to Diario Madridsta, Jose Mourinho has asked the Old Trafford club to secure the signing of the 23-year-old versatile midfielder from the European Champions.
The Spanish source have suggested that the Red Devils have told Kovacic that he will get his current wages doubled if he opts to move to Old Trafford this summer.
Kovacic’s current contract with the Spanish giants will expire in 2021 and he is earning £100,000-a-week (Star). This means that United are prepared to agree a deal that will make him earn around £200,000-a-week ($260,000-a-week).

The above mentioned wages should attract the Croatian star but as per the provided Diario Madridsta link, he wants to stay and even Real Madrid want to keep him as well because they believe that he is the perfect long term replacement for Luka Modric.
Mateo can effectively play as a central/defensive midfielder and also as an attacking midfielder if needed. Last season, he started 19 league games for Madrid, scored 1 goal and provided 3 assists.
Back in March, even Tottenham were linked with the former Inter Milan star and Mirror mentioned that his contract has a release clause of 21.8million pounds ($28million).

the deal is better than matic go for it
i think man united must take one signing by one not wanting many player but if we submit our bid it rejected it does not make sence anymore,look perisic 105 shorts and 11 goal i think it not perfect for man united,i need sameone like belotti 26 goals and morata 20 goals their we make our frontline score goal bt not others that has been metion to that place
Until Utd. Get in someone to negotiate transfers they will be struggling to sign any top player.
Take Pedro of Barca, Woodward was on weeks trying to negotiate then Chelsea come in and sign him
In one day. The same thing with Sandra when Bayern Munich came in and signed him when
Woodward piddling about with petty details and it looks like the same with Morata and other players.
It is different when we sell players. United sell them for pence and then when they are soldon
they go for pounds
That’s true talk, be rest assured morata’s own won’t be different.
Edward is an empty vessel he does not have any thing up stairs,he need to be sacked ,he delay our transfer and rivals will now go and buy players we propose
I am now skeptical about every Utd transfer news now. To me Ed wood is not serious.
Ed woodward is a top managerial fool, he is a monumental status of a been. He is the reason for manchester united poor performance bcos the important players needed for the team he don’t get them instead he waste too much time negotiating rubbish. If i catch him in Nigeria i will poison him, idiotic Ed Woodward
We are getting tired of this suspense, it is becoming boring…the usual exciting way I look to signings is gradually fading away. Please Ed bring back my excitement
