Jose Mourinho is interested in signing a Manchester City player, with Mateo Kovacic being his top target. Man City is open to selling Kovacic for £25 million, the same amount they bought him from Chelsea for. Mourinho sees Kovacic as his marquee signing for Fenerbahce, where he recently became the manager. Kovacic has never played under Mourinho despite being at Inter, Real Madrid, and Chelsea while the Portuguese was in charge.
Kovacic’s potential departure could open the door for Matheus Nunes to have a more prominent role at Manchester City. Nunes struggled for minutes in his first season at the club due to Kovacic being preferred by Pep Guardiola. If Kovacic leaves, it could provide Nunes with more opportunities to showcase his talent and build momentum. City would be right to consider offers for Kovacic, as his performances have not been consistently impressive.
While there have been rumors regarding the futures of other Manchester City players like Ederson and Kevin De Bruyne, it seems that Kovacic is the player attracting the most attention from Mourinho and Fenerbahce. City’s willingness to sell Kovacic for the right price indicates a potential shake-up in their midfield, giving a chance for Nunes to establish himself and progress within the team.
