Manchester City are closing in on the signing of Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea, with the midfielder reportedly set to cost around £25.5million (€30million).

City have been eyeing midfield reinforcements for some time ahead of the summer transfer window, with uncertainty over the futures of both Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva.

Gundogan is in talks over a new contract but will leave the club as a free agent when his current deal expires on July 1, while Silva is weighing up his options amid interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

Kovacic was identified early as a sensible option with Premier League and European experience, and the Croatian has long been expected to leave Chelsea as they revamp their own squad.
