"Marca" claims that Madrid's "Real" does not want to sell Mateo Kovačić for any amount of money, but will still agree to the player's desire to leave and loan him out.
The source reports that the 24-year-old midfielder will move to London's "Chelsea". It is said that the clubs have reached an agreement and now it is only a matter of time before the information is officially confirmed.
It is worth noting that M. Kovačić promised to go on strike and no longer train with the Madrid team, but the information was incorrect - the Croatian appeared at training today and it is possible that it was his last time with the team this season.
Madrid's "Real" hopes that at least one season-long loan will convince M. Kovačić not to part ways with the club permanently. Additionally, the Croatian would have the opportunity to train under the tactically strong coach Maurizio Sarri.
Meanwhile, London's "Chelsea" goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is waiting for the club's permission to leave for Madrid.
