Despite taking pole position in the race for the prodigious center-back, Inter cannot afford to rest on their laurels.

Indeed, Real Madrid’s involvement in the race threatens to compromise their chances of signing the Hajduk youngster.

After spending insane figures on established superstars for years, Los Merengues have changed their transfer policy.

Instead, they now focus on emerging talents, such as Mlacic.

Meanwhile, Hajduk’s valuation of their prized asset remains uncertain, though a handsome profit seems inevitable.
