The personal thoughts of Mateo Kovacic over a prospective move to Manchester City have finally been revealed.
After Fabrizio Romano stated at the beginning of June that the Chelsea midfielder was set to agree to personal terms on a move to City, this statement is made by the respected writer Jack Gaughan of the Daily Mail.
It has become clear how Mateo Kovacic feels about the possibility of seeing Manchester City as he prepares to say goodbye to the Blues.
Jack Gaughan: Mateo Kovacic’s perspective on a prospective transfer to Manchester City
It has been said that Pep Guardiola is a great fan of the £40 million (Sky Sports) player who was described as “outstanding” by Frank Lampard through OneFootball and that he personally longs for his presence at the Etihad Stadium.
Given that Bernardo Silva’s future is uncertain following the treble and that Ilkay Gundogan’s contract is set to expire in the summer, it is very possible that the team will need to strengthen their midfield unit.
The news that Mateo Kovacic is ‘keen’ on a summer transfer has been good news for Manchester City.
The former Real Madrid technician’s contract only has one year left, thus it is becoming more likely that he will wear a lighter shade of blue for the upcoming campaign.
Not only Mateo Kovacic, but other prospective transfer targets probably feel the same way.
Given that City defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League final on Saturday night, they became the second English team to have achieved a treble.
Apart from Mateo Kovacic, Manchester City is the best team in the world, and since Pep Guardiola is expected to remain at the club through at least 2025, his other transfer targets are likely to share this opinion.
Every football player wants to play for the best team in the world, especially one that just completed a treble-winning season and appears to have no intention of slowing down in its pursuit of glory.
If players were not motivated enough to play for City in the past, their excitement is likely to be at an all-time high now because they are one of the greatest club teams in the history of the game.
