Pep Guardiola is interested in the Croat after missing out on Jorginho, who signed for Chelsea this weekend
Manchester City have been told by Real Madrid they will have to pay a whopping £80million for Mateo Kovacic.
The wantaway midfielder is the latest target for the Premier League champions after they missed out on Jorginho, who followed new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri to Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
But according to the Daily Star, the LaLiga giants will only sell Kovacic if their valuation is met.
Kovacic, who was a part of Croatia’s World Cup squad that lost in the final to France, has also reportedly attracted interest from Chelsea and Tottenham too.
If City were to meet Real’s demands it would be the second time they have broken their transfer record fee after landing Riyad Mahrez for £60million earlier this week.
