Manchester United are keen on a summer move for Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic as the Red Devils look to bolster their engine room when the transfer window reopens for business.
Kovacic is set to enter the final year of his contract this summer and there has been speculation that the former Real Madrid man could be on the move with Chelsea yet to table an offer of a new long-term deal.
The player and his representatives are weighing up options at present with Kovacic expected to stay put in England even if he heads out the exit door at Stamford Bridge with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City keeping tabs on his situation.
According to a report from 90min, Manchester United have thrown their hat in the ring for the Croatia international maestro with Eric ten Hag’s side seeking an alternative to long-standing transfer target Frenke de Jong.
De Jong rebuffed the opportunity to sign for the Old Trafford giants last summer from Barcelona and the Dutch midfield talent is all but certain to extend his stay at Camp Nou for the coming years.
