Kovacic's career and experience
Mateo Kovacic has played for some of the best clubs in Europe during his career. He has so far defended the honor of Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea. The experienced midfielder has also won the Champions League with Chelsea, gaining a lot of experience.
City preparing for summer changes
Manchester City are planning a major shake-up of their squad in the summer transfer window. In addition to Kovacic, several star players are also expected to leave. The team is trying to implement Guardiola's long-term plan by attracting young and fast players to the squad.
