Mateo Kovačičaus recently told "Marca" journalists that he will most likely leave Real Madrid this summer.
The 24-year-old midfielder from Croatia stated that he wants to become a solid starting player, something he simply cannot achieve at Real Madrid. Many European clubs are interested in him, but it won't be easy for them to lure him away.
For a long time, it was believed that Kovačič's release clause was set at 50 million euros, but according to the Catalan newspaper "Sport," this information is not accurate.
According to "Marca," there is no player in the Real Madrid squad with a release clause lower than 150 million euros. Kovačič's contract includes an impressive amount - 300 million euros.
Real Madrid believes in Kovačič and will not let him go for any price. It is believed that after the World Cup, Julen Lopetegui will speak with the Croatian and promise him a more important role in the team.
Despite Kovačič's desire to leave, Real Madrid will not even consider offers from other clubs.
