Chelsea set for first exit since mega spend as Man City, Man Utd and Bayern Munich circle

Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic looks set to be on the move this summer, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Bayern Munich all interested in his services.

The 29-year-old's current contract is due to expire next summer and he is in a similar situation to Mason Mount, whose deal is also up in 2024. Chelsea's new owners have sanctioned a huge spending spree since taking charge, with the club announcing losses of more than £120million over the last financial year.

As a result, they will need to raise funds through player sales this summer in order to ensure they do not fall foul of the Premier League's Financial Fair Play rules. And Kovacic is one of those expected to be sold.
