Reports emanating from Stamford Bridge says that Chelsea will not stop their star player, Mateo Kovacic from leaving the club during the transfer window this summer.
News About Nigeria gathered that the Blues are willing to let the player leave the club without contract extension, if the midfielder wishes.
The Croatia international contract with Chelsea expires at the end of next season when he would be able to leave as a free agent.
The Blues currently have a pull of players in their starting lineup and might want to trim their squad of over 30 players, going into next season and balance the books after their spending spree under Todd Boehly this season.
In the last two transfer windows, the Blues have spent upwards of £500 million to sign a total of 18 players.
News About Nigeria has it in good authority that Guardiola’s Man City is holding talks with the player’s agents, while Liverpool is poised to follow soon.
Kovacic, the 2022 World Cup semi-finalist has featured in 33 games across all competitions for the Blues this season, wearing the captain’s armband thrice.
It is alleged that the Croatian might likely settle for Liverpool this summer, knowing he might have a better playing time there.
The Reds are in desperate need of a midfield revamp, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Naby Keita on contracts that expire this summer.
Recall that Liverpool has not had a favourable run since the start of the season, losing out to the top four teams on the league table.
