Croatia’s tportal went with a headline on Tuesday saying ‘Klopp and Liverpool have decided – Ante Coric is ours’.
Ante Coric transfer rumours are nothing new in the Croatian media, the talented 19 year old has repeatedly been linked with an exit from Dinamo Zagreb, almost since he joined the club from Red Bull Salzburg back in 2014.
An unused part of Croatia’s Euro 2016 squad, Coric is now a full international, having played a couple of times for his country, and the asking price now would obviously be higher than it ever has been.
Dinamo Zagreb can be a very difficult club to work with and there’s usually several people, and agents, involved in any potential exits, a situation any potential buyers would have to deal with.
tportal claim a reliable source has told them Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool have put together a bid of €15m and sent it to Dinamo Zagreb. The decision now lies in the hands of Zdravko Mamic, a man who has faced legal action for transfer irregularities and someone who could potentially give Liverpool nightmares.
Dinamo Zagreb will discuss the offer today, and there will almost certainly be further updates after that.
Prepare for drama.
