Manchester City may face interest in midfielder Mateo Kovacic this summer, despite only signing him a year ago. While talk of transfers to the Etihad Stadium has quieted down, incoming winger Savio is expected to be followed by at least two more new faces into Pep Guardiola’s squad. Fenerbahce, managed by Jose Mourinho, is reportedly interested in signing Kovacic, with the Portuguese coach looking to bolster his midfield.
Despite the potential for big-money departures from City’s playing squad, there is speculation about Kovacic potentially leaving for Fenerbahce. The Croatian midfielder, who still has three years left on his contract, is expected to participate in Manchester City’s pre-season tour of the United States along with Josko Gvardiol. Savio’s arrival from ESTAC Troyes adds excitement to City’s squad, although he may not be part of the pre-season tour due to a holiday period.
With Mourinho showing interest in Kovacic, there is uncertainty surrounding the midfielder’s potential move to Fenerbahce and how City will navigate the transfer market this summer. Despite the rumors, Kovacic and other key players are preparing to join Guardiola’s squad for pre-season training and upcoming competitions.
