Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Manchester City are interested in signing Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
The Italian journalist has claimed that former Real Madrid midfielder Kovacic has now agreed personal terms with Premier League champions City.
The 29-year-old is keen on leaving Chelsea for City in the summer transfer window.
Chelsea are open to selling the £150,000-a-week (SalarySport) midfielder, according to Romano, who has added that City will discuss a transfer fee with the Blues after the UEFA Champions League final.

“Kovacić wants the move, next step has to be between clubs as Chelsea and City will discuss fee after the UCL final.

Exciting for City fans
In our view, Mateo Kovacic is a very good midfielder who would make Manchester City better in the middle of the park.
The 29-year-old has been superb for Chelsea over the years and is at the top of his game at the moment.
The way Kovacic plays his football would make it easy to adapt to Pep Guardiola’s City.
The midfielder – described as “incredible” by West Ham United and England international midfielder Declan Rice in February 2022 – has scored four goals and created 19 big chances in 142 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
