Manchester United have expressed interest in signing Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic in the upcoming summer transfer window, joining the race alongside Manchester City.
The Croatian international has been linked with a potential departure from Stamford Bridge as he enters the final year of his contract.
While City were previously mentioned as a possible destination, United, under the management of Erik ten Hag, have now emerged as contenders for his signature.
Kovacic’s arrival would significantly strengthen the Red Devils’ squad as they aim to compete for major honors in the 2023/24 season.
The 28-year-old midfielder has been a key player for Chelsea since his move from Real Madrid and would form an impressive midfield partnership with his former Madrid teammate, Casemiro, at Manchester United.
