It has already been reported that the Premier League champions and the Croatian star have already had preliminary negotiations. And the 29-year-old says he is open to leaving Chelsea following their “very bad” season.
City recently withdrew from a crucial transfer battle when Jude Bellingham was acquired by Real Madrid. Declan Rice, the captain of West Ham, is not currently thought to be a target for the Treble hunters. Therefore, it makes sense to sign a player with Champions League winning history who is more affordable and experienced.
Mateo Kovacic’s words
Over the past 24 hours, Kovacic has stirred transfer talk on international duty with Croatia. He told Nacional, via the Evening Standard, ‘I have one more year with Chelsea, this season was very bad. Everything is going towards the fact that after five good years I will change, but in football anything can happen.’
He said, ‘Manchester City is a top team and deserves to be in the Champions League final. That’s what I have to say. The summer is long, we’ll see what happens.’ Mateo also told that Chelsea are phenomenal and he has loved his time in London so far.
The Croat made 37 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions this season, scoring once and providing two assists in a turbulent campaign at Stamford Bridge.
