Croatia midfielder Mateo Kovacic is set to undergo medicals
at Chelsea today as he hopes to seal a loan move to the Stamford Bridge this
summer.
The 24-year-old joined Los Blancos in 2015 from Inter Milan
but was unable to secure his starting spot in the club. He made 21 Spanish
League appearances for the Galacticos last term and is now looking for a club
where he can get more playing time.
Manchester United are also said to be interested in the
player who rather prefers the west London club as his next destination. Blues
new boss Maurizio Sarri made the Croatian star his priority as he starts to
overhaul the squad he inherited from Antoine Conte.
According to information fetched on Naij.com claim that Kovacic's move was motivated by his desires
to leave the Spanish club after telling Real he wanted to leave for the chance
of regular first team football.
He found his chances limited because of the
form and fitness of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric - leaving him with little option
but to seek for chances elsewhere despite finding favour at the side of Real boss Julen
Lopetegui.
Confirming the news is Real's new boss Julen Lopetegui, saying:
"It is true that Mateo (Kovacic) has expressed his desire to leave”.
The Blues have only managed to sign two players this summer
Jorginho from Napoli and Rob Green who came into the club as a free agent.
However, with less than two days to the wrap of this summer's transfer window,
the Stamford Bridge outfit are all out to fortify their squad to compete
favourable for titles this season.
