Liverpool are amongst a host of Premier League clubs who are expected to hold talks with Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic’s representatives.
Kovacic has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this coming summer as he approaches the final 12 months of his contract with the Blues where his future hangs in the balance.
According to a report from 90min, it is claimed that Liverpool are keeping a close watch on his contract situation alongside the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City which could make for an exciting contest on the transfer front.
Jurgen Klopp’s interest in the former Real Madrid midfielder would come as no surprise to many considering Liverpool’s much needed requirement of fresh blood in the centre of the park before the next season gets underway.
Chelsea are willing to part company with players in the final two years of their deals for the right price and Kovacic could be one of the several first-team names heading out the exit door later this year with England’s biggest clubs keen on his signature.
