The Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has been reported to make some unsuccessful bids in Dinamo Zagred. The Frenchman is interested in two youngsters from the club Sime Vesalijko and Mateo Kovacic.
Zagreb’s vice president however, made an official announcement that he had rejected Arsenal’s offer.
This news came out in an Croatian newspaper that these two players are two of the most talented and highly rated youngsters in the club and there is no way that the club will let go of them for a measly twenty million Euros.
The vice president told the media in a press conference that they had a visit from people from Arsenal FC and they made an offer of twenty million Euros for both the players but the club has rejected that offer.
He went on to say that these are the rising football stars of tomorrow and there is no way he is letting go of them just yet.
The player that the Gunners are interested in is the fullback 18-year-old Vrsalijko who is currently on the shopping list of numerous clubs around Europe.
The Vice President also said that clubs like the Citizens, Lily whites, Manchester United, and Everton are interested and some have already made their bids for this player this year.
The other player Kovacic is only sixteen years old and is the gem of the Croatian leagues as he is the youngest player to have ever netted a goal in an HNL League.
It was already reported that Gunners’ scouts have been coming in to see the player from October and Kovacic has been getting offers for a transfer from major clubs around Europe from the age of thirteen.
Dinamo Zagred seems to have made a desperate attention seeking move in the world Football media as it is believed by most that he is trying to start a bidding war for his player. As him stating that the player is not for sale is just a way to increase the
bids higher up and he keeps conforming this notion by random statements here and there.
Plus another move that this club made is that Arsenal has a reputation of seeking out young talents and with making the bid known to everyone, he is actually attracting attention from all clubs for his player.
Still Zdravko Mamic did make a harsh move of alienating Arsenal as what was considered to be private talk between two clubs, the Croatian has made public to the press.
The odds do seem that these two youngsters are going to move out of Dinamo Zagred very soon and all of this has been seen as disrespectful managing from Mamic.
