M. Kovačičius wants to stay in the "Chelsea" ranks

"Real Madrid", still owned by Madrid, but midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who was loaned to London's "Chelsea" this season, does not want to return to Spain in the summer and hopes to stay among the "aristocrats", reports "Goal".

The 24-year-old Croatian himself requested to leave the royal club last summer and was loaned to the London team. It seems that the player's desire to leave Madrid has not changed, despite Zinedine Zidane being at the helm of the team.

However, there is no buyout option in the loan agreement, so after the season M. Kovacic should automatically return to the "Real" team.

It is also unclear whether the "Chelsea" team will be able to make new deals in the summer, as they have been banned from acquiring players in the next two transfer windows.

M. Kovacic played 41 matches for the "aristocrats" this season, but failed to score any goals.
