DBasia.news – Chelsea dropped the hint to make Mateo Kovacic’s status permanent this season. Real Madrid granted the request by selling the midfielder.
Kovacic’s presence in Chelsea this season is still the on-loan player from Madrid. However, he performed well and has been playing in 17 caps so far from all competitions.
Hence, Chelsea won’t waste the time to have the Croatian midfielder permanently. Madrid are ready to receive the offer from the West London club.
Los Blancos set the fee in 30 million euro. This is the same with the fee they spent when signing him from Inter Milan in 2015.
Madrid have the consideration to sell Kovacic. Since arriving at Santiago Bernabeu, he couldn’t show the best performance. In total, the midfielder just played as the starter 37 times with El Real during his three seasons.
Chelsea are not the only club who want to sign the Dinamo Zagreb Academy alumni. Tottenham Hotspur are also ready to take advantage if The Blues and Los Blancos don’t reach the deal..
