Mateo Kovacic has been linked with a potential move from Chelsea to Manchester City in the summer as Pep Guardiola and his recruitment team look to make further squad improvements.
In January, when Chelsea welcomed the Premier League champions to Stamford Bridge, Guardiola was spotted making a beeline for Kovacic upon the final whistle. The 52-year-old was said to have made a special effort to talk to the Croatia international, with City having now reportedly launched a bid to sign him.
Guardiola has a history of speaking to opposition players, whether it be his fiery words of wisdom for Nathan Redmond or comfy chat with James Maddison. It appears Guardiola is a fan of the Blues midfielder, however, and Croatian journalist Haris Mrkonja says Kovacic's representatives are in London to talks to City about a potential move in the summer.
