It has now been reported that Mateo Kovacic is set to complete a transfer worth £30 million to Manchester City from Chelsea.
This comes from Fabrizio Romano, who used his signature catchphrase, ‘Here We Go’ to claim that the deal is all but official.
It seems like Manchester City have wrapped up their first transfer in the summer window with the imminent arrival of Mateo Kovacic.
What Fabrizio Romano said about Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City
Branded as ‘fantastic’ by Thomas Tuchel via Chelsea’s official website, it has previously been reported that even Pep Guardiola adores the 29-year-old and has done so for five years.
It would not come as a surprise if it was revealed that Guardiola’s personal admiration for the elegant midfielder led to the club targeting him ahead of the 2023/2024 season.
Sticking to the deal itself, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Manchester City and Chelsea have agreed a £30 million fee over the transfer of Mateo Kovacic.
The Italian journalist described the imminent signing as a ‘done deal’ and claimed that the three-time Champions League winner only wanted to sign for the treble-winners.
Now, the former Real Madrid technician is set to have his medical in the next couple of days.
Manchester City are setting an example for the rest in the transfer market once again
For starters, to have signed a player of the standing of Mateo Kovacic for just £30 million is proof that Manchester City are experts in the transfer market.
The Croatian international is one of Europe’s best midfielders and has proven his worth time and again for both club and country as a world-class footballer.
However, what is even more impressive is how early City have sealed the deal to sign the fleet-footed No.8.
It is this very aspect of the Sky Blues’ dealings that ensures that they are a step ahead of the rest and also why they tend to secure a majority of their summer targets time and again.
