His wife isnt to keen on a move to Manchester according to the French media. She'd rather move to the US.
 
Ante Coric



Liverpool are reportedly keen on 19-year-old Croatian midfielder Ante Coric, but face a fight from Real Madrid and Chelsea for his services.

The Dinamo Zagreb youngster is rated as one of Europe's hottest prospects and Soccerlens claims Klopp has already tried to schedule a meeting with the youngster.

Coric has been in good form for Dinamo Zagreb with four goals and five assists in the Croatian first division and that has attracted interest from The Reds who are set for a summer overhaul.

Wow, that Coric lad looks great. More tricky than Markovic, but pretty quick as well and with lots of playmaking ability. He reminds me of Rosicky (before the injury) or Modric – technique of a #10, but will probably end up playing deeper in midfield later in his career. Love that he takes mean corners and free-kicks as well. If Klopp convinces him to sign, we might have found our future playmaker.

The way he goes past players and the control he has on his dribble reminds me a little bit of Iniesta. He also has a good head on his shoulder. Easily the best youtube compilation of all the players we have been linked to this summer.

Coric turned down potential moves to Real Madrid and Chelsea earlier this year, with a lack of first team football the factor in his decision to reject both clubs. “I am very happy that Chelsea and Real Madrid want me but I know I wouldn’t play there,” he said. “They would send me out on loan, perhaps to a lesser club or a lesser league.”

We were also linked to Adrjia Zivkovic in January transfer window. Maybe the Buvac connection can help us if this kid is really good. Youtube compilation again looks more than decent.

 
Coric has established himself as a key member of the Dinamo midfield, making 28 appearances in the Prva HNL in 2015/16, after making his debut for the club in 2014.
At just 19, Coric is one of Croatia’s finest young talents, and was awarded the Croatian Hope of the Year last year.
Now, Coric is believed to have garnered the interest of Klopp, who is looking to add the attacking midfielder to his Liverpool squad this summer, in an £11.5 million deal.
This is according to Croatian publication Sportske Novosti, who claim Klopp has contacted Coric and is pushing for a meeting with the youngster.
Coric is said to be attracting a number of top European clubs this summer, including Tottenham Hotspur and Man City, but Liverpool are leading the race to secure his signature.
The former Red Bull Salzburg youth is reportedly “at the top of the list of signings for next season,” and Klopp would look to use a fellow Croatian, Dejan Lovren, to ease Coric’s transition into life at Liverpool.
Coric is a versatile attacking midfielder most comfortable in the No. 10 role, but also able to operate on either wing and in a deeper position in midfield.
At just under 5’8″, Coric may initially struggle to adapt to the Premier League, but as an intelligent, creative talent, he may look to navigate this in much the same way as Philippe Coutinho.
Best picking up the ball from deep and driving at defences with skill and pace, Coric could fit into Klopp’s fast-moving attacking system, though he would need to improve on his defensive contribution.

With 80 senior appearances to his name at the age of 19, however, Klopp would be acquiring an experienced young player in Coric, and could look to mould his talents to fit his vision.
With Marko Grujic arriving this summer and Liverpool already having a plethora of midfielders among their ranks, the question is whether they really need yet another young midfielder?

The Southern European teams will always win in these situations as they have pretty flexible work permit laws.

We can pretty much only sign players out of europe after they play 7-10 international games. By that stage they are already well known and playing in Portugal, Spain or italy
 
Viktor Fischer to Middlesbrough more or less done deal, €5M.

*puts tenner on Boro to win the Prem at odds 1,000,000*

I'm not saying it will be Fischer, but there will be at least 5 players who join a small Premiership club this season, who everyone will be moaning that we didn't sign and will be valued at five times what they cost by the end of the season.

All forgetting the other ten or fifteen that are signed for similar cost that look completely out of their depth.

I can understand why we don't buy him despite how great a talent I believe him to be. Season ruined by injuries and when returning to the team only used as a sub. He needs to get back on track.

What I am trying to say is that I for one won't bemoan we didn't buy him - I just hope we do next Summer after he's hit double figures and looked like a boss throughout.
 
Javier Pastore linked for £23m. Is he worth it? This season gone, the stats are 3 goals 6 assists in 24 games, and he is 26.
