Kovacic’s representatives are in London holding talks with Manchester City over potential move from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

As per reports last month, Kovacic wants to leave Stanford Bridge at the end of the season. It was also claimed that he has offered himself to Italian outfit AC Milan.

Manchester United were interested in Kovacic, but now Man City are in pole position to sign the Croatian in the summer. N1 claims :-

“Kovacic is a great desire of Pep Guardiola”.

The 28-year-old is yet to agree to contract extension at Chelsea. But Kovacic will be available in good price.

Croatian Journalist Haris Mrkonja says Kovacic’s representatives are in London to hold meeting with Man City officials about a potential move in the summer. He tweeted:-

For my English speakers: Mateo Kovačić’s representatives are in London to talk to Man City about a transfer to the blue side of Manchester.#Kovacic #ManCity #Transfer #ChelseaFC #CFC.

However City need to pay just £30m for the midfielder. Kovacic joined Chelsea from Real Madrid in 2019 having already spent a loan spell at Stanford Bridge.

Kovacic won his fourth Champions League at Chelsea, having already won it three-times with Los Blancos. He also won the Europa League and The Club World Cup.

However, Chelsea hierarchy have made it very clear that they will not allow players’s contract run-down to nothing and they leave the club on free transfer. So given Kovacic has just one year left in his current deal and so he will indeed be on his way out of the club.

Reports suggests that Kovacic will be brought to Etihad for replacing Kevin Phillips, who barely featured since the summer move. Overall Man City if they acquire his services in the summer window.
