According to recent reports, Manchester City is eyeing a summer transfer move for Chelsea’s midfielder Mateo Kovacic. The Croatian international has been an important player for the Blues since joining them in 2019 from Real Madrid, playing a pivotal role in their recent Champions League triumph.
Manchester City has been one of the most dominant teams in English football over the past few years, winning numerous domestic titles under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola. However, they have been looking to strengthen their midfield, especially after the departure of club legend David Silva.
Kovacic would be an excellent addition to the Manchester City squad, with his technical ability, vision, and passing range perfectly fitting Guardiola’s possession-based system. Moreover, he has proven himself to be a hard-working player, who can contribute both defensively and offensively, making him a versatile option for any team.
While it remains to be seen whether Chelsea would be willing to part ways with one of their key players, Manchester City would undoubtedly be willing to spend big to secure the services of Kovacic. The Blues might be reluctant to let go of the midfielder, especially given his vital role in their recent success.
