Today he arrived in Italy after negotiations that were handled flawlessly by his agent Marko Naletilic.

This evening, after undergoing a medical examination at a hospital in Pavia, and after he put his signature on the contract that binds him to Inter, he talked for the first time about his new adventure as an Inter player in an exclusive interview with fcinternews.it: “I have received offers from many teams. But as soon as I heard about Inter, I asked my agent Marko to close the deal immediately. It’s a very strong feeling, it’s a really good team. This is an incredible opportunity in my career and I intend to seize it.”

Today, Inter made the acquisition of talent Kovacic official. What can you tell us about this young man?
