Chelsea enquire about Real Madrid midfielder
Chelsea enquire about Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic
Sportsmail revealed last week that
Chelsea are prepared to launch a transfer
deadline move for Ramsey, who is likely to
cost in the region of £30million.
The midfielder is in talks with Arsenal over
a new deal and Chelsea are keeping an
eye on the developments, but may opt to
wait with Ramsey available on a free
transfer next summer.
Maurizio Sarri is already scanning the
market for alternatives and Kovacic is a
player he likes, having watched him
closely during his days in Italy with Inter
Milan.
The Croatian international has also
attracted interest from Manchester City,
who are considering stepping up their
pursuit of him after missing out on
targets
Fred and Jorginho.
However, despite the player's wishes to
move on, the European champions are
reluctant to allow him to leave the club
this
summer.
Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater is
prepared to fight for his place even if
Kovacic ends up signing, but is expected
to leave on loan next week.
The Stamford Bridge club are also facing
a
battle to sign their long-standing target
Gonzalo Higuain after his representatives
held talks with AC Milan on Monday.
Higuain is likely to leave Juventus this
summer, but the Serie A champions are
hoping to recoup most of what they paid
for him two years ago and have set a
valuation of £53m.
