Chelsea's squad clear-out is underway and the latest name that is set to leave is midfielder Mateo Kovacic, as Fabrizio Romano reports that the Croatian international is set to join Manchester City. The fee has been agreed between the two clubs at £30million, with personal terms agreed.
The 29-year-old was reaching his final year under contract at Stamford Bridge and with a huge squad turnover expected, a move seemed likely. Kovacic looks set to join a whole host of players leaving, with N'Golo Kante the first to make the move on a free transfer to Al-Ittihad.
Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech and Kalidou Koulibaly have all agreed deals to join clubs in Saudi Arabia too, at Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal respectively. Kai Havertz also looks set to leave as an agreement is close between Chelsea and Arsenal over a possible sale at £65million.
