Croatian Kovacic to leave Manchester City: Atletico Madrid in "pole position"...
2025-02-26 16:24:26 / SPORT
It's set to be a busy summer at Manchester City, with a big shake-up both inside and out. Among the players set to leave the Etihad Stadium is Mateo Kovacic, who could be on his way to Atletico Madrid.
The Croatian midfielder looked set to leave in January, but in the end no negotiations materialised. However, with Kevin De Bruyne set to lead the list of departures, Kovacic has also been listed as a potential spender.
According to CaughtOffside, Atletico Madrid have already initiated concrete contacts with both the player and City regarding a summer transfer for the Croatian midfielder.
The English club would not oppose his transfer, with the aim of a deep renewal of the squad. It is said that the 'Citizens' have already identified Atalanta's Ederson as a possible replacement for the Croatian in midfield. The cost of Kovacic's transfer is around 30 million euros, but the 'red and whites' will try to get a discount.
The 30-year-old's contract with City expires in 2027, but Atletico want to take advantage of the English club's desire to change the face of the team.
Fenerbahçe are also interested in him and José Mourinho had already tried to bring him to Manchester United in 2018. However, Kovacic would prefer to stay in one of Europe's top five leagues and would welcome the opportunity to restart in La Liga.
