"Citizens" are considering the possibility of signing midfielder Real Mateo Kovacic.
Not so long ago, the Croatian midfielder announced that he was ready to leave Madrid in search of game practice.
As reported by The Mirror, Mateo wants Manchester City, who still can not coordinate with Napoli transfer Zhorzhinho. "Townspeople" have been working on the transition of the Neapolitan backpacker for the past three months, but negotiations with the leadership of the Italian club are very difficult.
Thus, according to the source, the City can abandon the option with Jorginho and concentrate on buying Kovacic.
Previously, Marca reported that Real Madrid does not plan to part with Mateo, despite his desire to leave.
