Mateo Kovacic could sign for Chelsea’s Premier League rivals

CROATIAN midfielder Mateo Kovacic could join one of Chelsea's Premier League rivals in the summer should he fail to secure a permanent move to Stamford Bridge. The 24-year-old is currently on a season-long loan from Real Madrid having joined last summer, where he has established himself as a key player under Maurizio Sarri. Kovacic has featured 40 times for Chelsea in all competitions, but is yet to open his account for the FA Cup holders. And Los Blancos would be willing to let the former Inter Milan ace leave on a permanent deal with Zinedine Zidane believed to not be a fan of his. According to Spanish news outlet Marca, Kovacic will look to remain in the Premier League if the Blues are unable to nab him at the end of the season.
