There is no obstacle: Mateo Kovačić will join Man City
Chelsea are open to selling Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovačić and Man City opened concrete negotiations.
Chelsea would like to offload a lot of players this summer and Mateo is one of them.
City will have to pay 30-40 million for him and that’s not a big problem for us.
Manchester have prepared 200 million for summer transfer market.
Kovačić is a versatile player who can change both, Ilkay Gündogan and Bernardo Silva.
Bayern Munich tried to approach the Croatian, but he wants to join only Man City. Kovačić sees the opportunity to find himself as a starter under Pep Guardiola’s system.
So, Liverpool are in advanced talks with Alexis Mac Allister. West Ham United demand at least 70 million for Declan Rice. Guardiola considers Kovačić a better player than Marco Verratti for his views.
Mateo joined Chelsea 4 years ago from Real Madrid. He has won four Champions League, La Liga, but has never won Premier League.
29-year-old Il Professore (his nickname) started his professional career in Dinamo Zagreb.
After the failed deal of Jude Bellingham, City don’t want to stay empty handed and have shifted focus to more reliable transfers.
