It has been reported that the agents of Mateo Kovacic are in London to hold talks with Manchester City over a potential transfer.
A month ago, it was first claimed that the Premier League champions were keen on a move for the Chelsea midfielder.
Perhaps the initial link was not just mere transfer talk as Mateo Kovacic could not be set to join Manchester City after all.
Details behind Kovacic to Manchester City transfer speculation
The Croatian international has been one of the best central midfielders since signing for the Blues.
However, the theme around Kovacic’s time at Stamford Bridge has been his constant injury problems; starting just 14 league games this season, 16 in the campaign before and just 21 in the 2020/2021 campaign.
But it seems Manchester City are ready to put that aside to complete a transfer for Mateo Kovacic, as per a report by N1.
It has been stated that the Champions League winner’s agents are in London to open the first round of talks to get a deal done.
Further details claim that Pep Guardiola has a ‘great desire’ to sign the 28-year-old, who could be available for just £30 million.
MCN View: Kovacic move should be avoided because of his injuries
On the basis of the sheer quality Kovacic possesses, there is no disputing that he would be a brilliant signing for the Sky Blues.
An expert ball-carrier, technically excellent, adept at controlling games and defensively solid, he is virtually the perfect No.8.
However, a transfer involving Mateo Kovacic should be avoided by Manchester City due to his injury woes.
As previously mentioned, there are no signs that the former Real Madrid technician is available enough to be relied upon.
And his potential incoming would only create instability in the middle of the park, which is not ideal for a side competing on multiple fronts season upon season.
