Real Madrid Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Mateo Kovacic and Marcos Llorente

Real Madrid have reportedly rejected an offer of €75 million (£69 million) from Juventus for midfielder Mateo Kovacic.

According to AS (h/t Football Italia), the massive offer for the Croatia international was turned down by the Spanish and European champions. Kovacic, having previously struggled to make an impact at the Santiago Bernabeu, is growing in importance in Zinedine Zidane's squad.

There appears to be some confusion in regards to the fee, though. According to ESPN FC, the 23-year-old has a release clause of €50 million (£46 million) in his current Madrid contract.
