The Croat has been one of the Blues' best players in recent seasons. He has made 220 appearances for the club since joining the club from Real Madrid in 2018. Kovacic has once again been important this season, scoring twice and providing two assists in 36 games across competitions.
His current deal with Chelsea will run out at the end of the 2023-24 season. However, amidst exit rumors and the player's interest in joining City, a move to Manchester might be on the cards for him.
Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Chelsea's Mateo Kovacic
Manchester City are not the only club from Manchester that are interested in a move for Chelsea's Mateo Kovacic. Manchester United are also reportedly considering making a move for the former Real Madrid man.
According to Football Insider, the Red Devils are plotting a €30 million move for Kovacic. United are keen to bolster their squad in the summer and midfield is one of the positions that the club are most keen on improving.
Erik ten Hag's side look set to play in the UEFA Champions League next season. Hence, they might need a bigger pool of players. Kovacic, given his experience of playing in major games, can turn out to be a great addition.
Also, United's €30 million valuation might be a bargain for Kovacic. He is one of the finest midfielders in the world. United, however, might need to fend off interest from their city rivals, Manchester City.
