In a significant transfer development, Manchester City has successfully completed the signing of Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea. The two clubs have reached an agreement on a transfer fee, reported to be £30 million, marking the culmination of negotiations between the parties involved.
Sources reveal that the agreement between Manchester City and Chelsea was just finalized, with the former agreeing to pay a guaranteed fee of £25 million to secure Kovacic’s services. An additional £5 million will be included as add-ons, contingent on Manchester City winning titles, rather than being dependent on the player’s individual performances.
The highly sought-after midfielder had expressed his desire to join Manchester City, and personal terms were agreed upon two weeks ago. Kovacic’s preference for a move to the reigning Premier League champions proved decisive in finalizing the deal.
With the transfer now in motion, the next step for Kovacic will be to undergo medical examinations in the coming days. Once the medical assessments are successfully completed, the 29-year-old midfielder will officially become a Manchester City player, bolstering the midfield options for manager Pep Guardiola.
Kovacic’s arrival at Manchester City marks an important addition to the squad, providing Guardiola with an experienced and talented midfielder who has showcased his skills at top clubs such as Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Known for his technical abilities, ball control, and tactical awareness, Kovacic is expected to seamlessly fit into Guardiola’s system and contribute to the team’s ambitions.
The completion of the Kovacic deal signifies Manchester City’s continued ambition to strengthen their squad as they aim to defend their Premier League title and compete in various competitions. The club’s investment in the Croatian midfielder demonstrates their commitment to securing top-quality players to maintain their competitive edge.
As fans eagerly await official confirmation of the transfer and Kovacic’s unveiling as a Manchester City player, the move adds another captivating storyline to the ongoing transfer market.
The arrival of the Croatian midfielder at the Etihad Stadium promises an exciting new chapter for both the player and the club as they look to build on their recent successes and strive for further silverware in the upcoming season.
