Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic looks set to leave the club this summer despite Chelsea being keen on extending his contract with the club, according to GiveMeSport.

Kovacic will have just one year left on his contract at the end of the season and the midfielder reportedly wants wants to assess his options before making a decision on his future amid interest from Manchester City.

Should Kovacic decide against signing a new contract, the Blues will sell the midfielder this summer to avoid losing him as a free agent next year.

Simon Phillips told GIVEMESPORT: “Chelsea have been keen to speak to him, recently, over a new contract. That’s not happened yet and there are no signs of those talks starting up, as of now.

Also, on Kovacic’s side of things, he is keen to explore all of his options this summer and will be looking at interest coming in as well as sitting down with Chelsea and at least speaking about a contract if he feels that’s what he wants to do.

“But it is open and I can definitely see Kovacic potentially leaving Chelsea in the summer.”
