Mateo Kovacic has described Chelsea as 'home' amid uncertainty over his future at Stamford Bridge and declared that he feels great in London and England. Speculation has increased over the Croatian's long term future in the capital, with Manchester City said to be interested.
The 28-year-old midfielder will have a single year remaining on his contract come the summer, having first joined the club on loan in 2018. There has been little in the way of progression over a new deal for Kovacic, despite the former Real Madrid man having featured 33 times this season.
Kovacic is one of a number of Blues players whose Chelsea tenures come to a close in the near future as Chelsea look to trim down their squad, with 31 players recognised as part of the first team group. The hierarchy also hope to avoid players having less than two years on their contract where possible.
