According to CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs on TEAMtalk, Chelsea have fallen short over the future of Mateo Kovacic amid Liverpool's interest in Jurgen Klopp.
Jacobs says Chelsea have no intention of selling the former Real Madrid midfielder in the summer transfer window.
This reporter added, the former champion of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League had thought to get rid of the star salary of 150,000 pounds/week sooner (SalarySport), but now the London team has changed its opinion.
Reporter 90 minutes Graeme Bailey said
This month, Liverpool are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Kovacic during the summer transfer window.
Chelsea's stance on Liverpool target Mateo Kovacic
Jacobs says:
"I don't think there's too much of a connection with Kovacic at this point. Liverpool will have other incentives and priorities.
"But another thing about Kovacic, although Liverpool have chosen to explore that - and nothing substantial at this stage, I think you would consider more than a player like Wolves' Matheus Nunes on their radar, but if they did - or any other club wanted to go after Kovacic, then you have to remember that Chelsea changed their position a bit because they got rid of Jorginho and they realized that Kovacic has the potential to lead. directing and also engaging with strange goals. And those are still spectacular goals.
"So now Chelsea's position on Kovacic has changed in about six months. And their priority is to try and agree on something if possible to keep him at the football club. . "So while maybe at the end of last year we talked about Kovacic being a player more likely to leave than to stay, now I think Kovacic is more likely to stay than stay." departure."
In our view, it would be wise for Chelsea to keep Mateo Kovacic and not sell him, especially with Premier League rivals Liverpool.
After all, Liverpool and Chelsea are both aiming to win the Premier League next season.
So in our opinion, by selling the Croatia international midfielder to the Reds, the Blues will only strengthen Jurgen Klopp's squad.
Kovacic is playing at his peak at the age of 28.
Chelsea don't. No 8 has made 11 starts and 8 substitute appearances in the Premier League this season.
Kovacic scored one goal and assisted once in those games.
