Word stemming from the English media on Friday evening suggests that a surprise deal could be on the cards between Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester City this summer.

The agreement in question would see a long-time member of the midfield ranks at Stamford Bridge take his talents to Manchester.

The Blues star in question? Mateo Kovacic.

As per a report from Football Insider, City are ‘ready to turn their full attention to signing Kovacic’ with a view to next season.

This comes with first-choice midfield target Jude Bellingham understood to be edging towards linking up with La Liga giants Real Madrid, and Pep Guardiola a ‘big fan’ of Kovacic’s talents.

Not only that, but the powers that be at Chelsea are not expected to stand in the Croat’s way, should a bid of between £30 and 40 million be forthcoming for his signature.

A move to The Etihad over the coming months is therefore looking an increasingly realistic possibility, with Pep Guardiola keen to add two fresh bodies to his engine room ranks.
