Report: Chelsea want £50m for £150,000-a-week midfielder

Chelsea are willing to sell Mateo Kovacic in the summer transfer window, but the Blues are looking for £50 million amid interest from Manchester City.

The Sun have reported that Manchester City are interested in signing Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

City manager Pep Guardiola personally wants to sign the former Real Madrid midfielder.

The report has added that Chelsea would look for £50 million in transfer fees to sell the 29-year-old Croatia international central midfielder.

Should Chelsea sell Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City?

In our view, Chelsea should think twice about selling Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City even for £50 million.

Yes, £50 million is a lot of money for a 29-year-old, but selling the former Madrid star to City would only enhance the quality of the Citizens.

If Guardiola personally wants Kovacic, then Chelsea have to take note.

After all, the former Barcelona head coach, who has just led City to their third Premier League title in a row, does not sign bad players.

The 29-year-old is under contract at Chelsea until the summer of 2024.

There are rumours that talks between the midfielder and the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners will be held soon.

Perhaps Chelsea should put real effort into getting a deal done with Kovacic.

Kovacic has made 17 starts and nine substitute appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea this season.

The 29-year-old £150,000-a-week (SalarySport) midfielder has scored one goal and given two assists in those games.
