Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic has addressed speculation linking with him a move to Manchester City.

Speaking to Nacional while away on international duty, Kovacic said: “I have one more year with Chelsea, this season was very bad.

“Everything is going towards the fact that after 5 good years I will change, but in football anything can happen. Right now, I’m focused on Croatia and the Nations League.

“Manchester City is a top team and deserves to be in the Champions League final. That’s what I have to say. The summer is long, we’ll see what happens.

“Chelsea is phenomenal for me. I love the city and the fans, they love me, I have wonderful memories of Chelsea. We’ll see what happens”
