Mateo Kovacic: Real Madrid to Manchester City
Mateo Kovacic could leave Real Madrid after admitting he wants more first-team football. The Croatian, who is linked with Manchester City, said: “I know that it’s difficult to be a starter at Real Madrid, especially when I arrived at a really young age. I understand the situation, but because of that I believe the best thing for me would be to go to another club where I’d have the opportunity to play regularly as a starter. I think I can have this opportunity and it’s one I want right now.” (Manchester Evening News via Marca)
