Mateo Kovacic is expected to leave Chelsea this summer, and there are plenty of clubs trying to secure his signature. The 29-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge lately, with his contract set to expire in 12-months.
football.london understands that the Blues are preparing for his departure, with Bayern Munich and Manchester City said to be interested. It's believed that there's not yet been talks of an extension on his current deal in west London, meaning the Croatia international will become a free agent at the end of next season.
Thomas Tuchel is said to be eager to reunite with Kovacic, who performed excellently alongside the German during their time together at Chelsea. Pep Guardiola is also understood to be a big admirer, with the Premier League champions plotting a swoop.
