The midfielder is a new Cityzen. He signed a 4 year contract with the champion of England.
Manchester City have their first signing. The club formalized the arrival of Mateo Kovacic for the next 4 seasons. Kovacic belonged to Chelsea until then. At 29, he joined the English champion and last winner of the Champions League. The Croatian who spent the last 5 seasons at Chelsea also went through Real Madrid.
To his credit, he has a Champions League, a Europa League, a UEFA Super Cup but also a World Cup final (in 2018). The club’s sporting director, Txiki Begiristain, reacted to Kovacic’s signing:Mateo is an excellent footballer. He can play in 6 or 8, has a lot of experience at top clubs and he understands the Premier League.It was a very simple decision to bring him to City because he has the tactical and technical qualities that we are looking for in a midfielder.»
