Chelsea sell 1 more! The 29-year-old main midfielder moved £30 million to Manchester City or replace Gundogan

On June 21, Beijing time, well-known transfer expert Romano confirmed that midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who plays for Chelsea, has moved to Manchester City. Romano announced the completion of the transfer with the iconic "Here We Go", and Mateo Kovacic will undergo a medical examination arranged by Manchester City in the coming days.

Two weeks ago, the player had already agreed on personal terms with Manchester City, and Mateo Kovacic only wanted to join Manchester City. And now the two clubs have also agreed on a transfer fee. Manchester City will pay Chelsea a £30 million (€35 million) transfer fee. That's less than Mateo Kovacic's €38 million worth on Germany's Transfer Market, and it has to be said that Manchester City made a good deal.

The 29-year-old made his debut in the youth academy of Dinamo Zagreb before moving on to Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea. In 2018, Chelsea brought in Mateo Kovacic on a loan-to-buy basis for a transfer fee of €45 million. In the 2022-23 season, he made 37 appearances for Chelsea, contributing two goals and two assists, and was Chelsea's main midfielder. Originally, Mateo Kovacic had one year left on his contract with Chelsea.

At present, Manchester City, despite the presence of good midfield players, is likely to leave this summer, with Gundogan and Phillips. Mateo Kovacic, who is an all-rounder in midfield, is undoubtedly a very useful addition to City's squad. In addition to Mateo Kovacic, Manchester City will be targeting another Croatia international, centre-back Gvadior. RB Leipzig is asking for more than 100 million euros for the young centre-back who shined at the World Cup.
