We're totally getting Kovacic and Saponara for the midfield and there's going to be a meltdown when it happens

Kovacic would be a bit underwhelming if this deal goes through. He has the potential no doubt, but it's a bit premature to classify him in the Dybala and Pogba category just yet. If he does come here he might find the right environment to grow and the right players around him, but if we are to make a statement of intent, I'd go with Pjanic, Isco or Goetze. In terms of just pure value for money and immediacy of impact, there is nobody better than Mascherano as an opportunity ,if it exists, this mercato.
Kovacic on the whole has a very similar feel to the Morata deal, when Alvaro came here first. Ability and potential went on to become a clutch, breakthrough star, but I think for it to happen for Kovacic we would need a lot of variables to fall into place, starting with how he's deployed in the formation of choice, followed by the 4312.

In fact, the only thing that could be happening for real, is that Agnelli and MArotta want to pull a neymar-style deal with Black Jesus´s agent, giving them some extra shady 25 mils and then go on a partying spree all around the favelas.
All depends on Real. They're the ones with a bit of leverage here because they are CL champs and ger to put a price on their players heads. The price of a European champ also inflates somewhat notionally, even if the contribution is minimal. I expect to see the same scenario with Kovacic. Had they not win the title we could be looking a realistic deal in the region of 18-22m. But with the title, I think that sum will be closer to 25m. So it could be something like Kovacic plus 5m to buy back Morata incase of a potential swap.
I love Eastern European players becaus they fit the idea of Juve's grinta philosophy, so I'd not be totally averse to Kovavic. But if we are talking about a short term CL push, then there are other players out there who are more seasoned and suitable to the cause. I'd take zPjanic over Kovacic in a heartbeat, even for almost double money. Potentially 20m vs 38m. Unless that 18m is the difference between having Mascherano and not having him.
