Manchester City player ‘would welcome’ exit despite being regular – Club want Pep’s side to reduce price ‘a lot’

Mateo Kovačić has been a key player for Manchester City this season, featuring in 32 matches across all competitions and accumulating 2,113 minutes of playing time.

However, despite his regular involvement, his long-term future at the Etihad remains uncertain.

Reports from the UK suggest that City are planning a squad overhaul for next season, which could see Kovačić being sold in the summer.

Atlético Madrid have been mentioned as a potential suitor, with suggestions that they might try to secure the Croatian midfielder for €30 million as part of City’s clear-out.

Mundo Deportivo has picked up on these claims and added its own perspective on the situation.

Kovačić, who previously played for Real Madrid, will turn 31 in May and is under contract with Manchester City until 2027.

However, Atlético appears reluctant to meet the reported €30 million valuation for a player in his 30s.

The Spanish club would only consider a deal if the asking price drops significantly, though the report does not specify how much they would be willing to pay.

The article also recalls that José Mourinho was keen on signing Kovačić for Manchester United back in 2018. His current club, Fenerbahçe, is now reportedly interested in bringing him in during the next transfer window.

Despite this, Kovačić is not keen on a move to Turkey, as he prefers to remain in one of Europe’s top five leagues.

With that in mind, he is said to be open to the idea of returning to Spain, where Atlético could provide him with a fresh start in Madrid.
