The 23-year-old has been strongly linked
with a summer switch to Old Trafford
after finding first-team appearances hard
to come by at The Bernabeu.
Spanish outlet AS claims that United are
one of four clubs who are monitoring
Kovacic’s situation, along with Premier
League rivals Tottenham, Juventus and
Inter Milan.
The report goes on to state that Kovacic
wanted out last summer and has hinted
that he would seriously consider moving
to England, if he could be guaranteed
more game time.
However, it is thought that Real will not
sell at any price as they regard the player
as a key part of their future.
Indeed there is expected to be a major
revamping of the Real squad this
summer, after a disastrous La Liga title
defence, and several other players are
expected to be moved on ahead of
Kovacic.
