Mateo Kovačić Transfer from Manchester City to Atlético Madrid
Mateo Kovačić might depart from Manchester City in the summer transfer window. According to football insider Rudy Galetti, Manchester City is ready to sell him, with negotiations for the Croatian midfielder's return to La Liga already in progress. Atletico Madrid, a potential destination for Kovačić, has taken definitive steps towards securing the transfer and has been in contact with the player following preliminary unofficial discussions with City. As part of their restructuring plans, Manchester City is willing to sell Kovačić and is looking to receive approximately 30 million euros for him.
Manchester City are ready to sell Mateo Kovacic and talks over a transfer are already taking place. Atletico Madrid are showing concrete interest in Kovacic, and have initiated contact with both Kovacic's camp and Man City to explore a summer transfer. Kovacic previously played for Real Madrid, making this a potentially controversial move. Man City are keen to recoup their original €30 million outlay, though the fee is negotiable.
Atletico Madrid have expressed their interest in acquiring Mateo Kovacic and have initiated concrete discussions with both the player and Manchester City regarding a possible transfer this summer. Manchester City are willing to consider selling Kovacic as part of their squad restructuring efforts, with a potential transfer fee expected to be around €30 million. However, Atletico Madrid might seek to negotiate a lower price. Although Kovacic's contract with Manchester City is valid until 2027, Atletico Madrid aims to take advantage of City's desire for major squad changes. Kovacic is keen on remaining in one of Europe's top five leagues, making Atletico Madrid an attractive option for him.
Mateo Kovačić has reportedly offered himself to Atletico Madrid and the club has initiated contacts with Manchester City regarding a potential transfer. The operation could cost around 30 million euros, which would compensate the amount Manchester City spent when purchasing Kovačić from Chelsea in the summer of 2023. However, the transfer might only occur if Rodrigo De Paul leaves Atletico Madrid, which seems unlikely given his current form and importance to the team.
