Mateo Kovacic could well leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window but it appears the club has a plan in place.
As football.london reported on Thursday afternoon, Chelsea are prepared to let the Croatian midfielder leave the club this summer amid interest from Manchester City and Bayern Munich, who are believed to be the front-runners for his signature. Kovacic has just over 12 months remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge and the Blues are not so keen on him entering the latter stages of his deal next season and risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.
The 29-year-old has been a mainstay in the first-team, when fit, in his four-and-a-half years at the club but his time looks to be at an end now. Chelsea, however, are already planning for life without the former Real Madrid man and football.london has been told about six midfield transfer targets ahead of the summer window.
