Real Madrid have confirmed several offers arrived for young midfielder Mateo Kovacic during the summer but deny they're looking to sell the Croat in January.
Club director Angel Sanchez spoke to Sportske Novosti (h/t Football Italia) regarding persistent rumours involving the former Inter Milan man, and he made it clear Kovacic will not be sold.
He also denied reports one of the offers came from Serie A giants AC Milan:
“He is not for sale and we will not sell.
“If an offer were to come in during January, we would reject it out of hand. It’s true that we received several offers over the summer for Kovacic, but none of them were from Milan.
he 23-year-old made a shock move to the Spanish capital in 2015 after a difficult spell with Inter, and many wondered why Los Blancos believed he had any chance of breaking into the team.
Kovacic had flashed tons of talent in Italy but struggled with consistency, and he needed time to find his footing in Madrid. He enjoyed a solid 2016-17 campaign, however, earning more playing time as the season went on and impressing whenever he got the chance.
