Chelsea would not stand in Mateo Kovacic's way should he decide to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, according to reports
Kovacic, 28, has just over a year remaining on his contract at the London outfit, fueling links with the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool as well as City ahead of the summer transfer window opening. Recent reports have claimed City are 'increasingly confident' of signing the Croatia international, as they may need to replace Ilkay Gundogan in the summer should he leave when his contract expires.
And The Evening Standard now claims 'Chelsea would not stand in his way if he wanted to leave' with the report adding that Manchester City are interested in acquiring his signature.
