Chelsea want to extend Kovacic link after World Cup

The entry of Mateo Kovacic, in the 36th minute, against Manchester United, in the last game for the Premier League, changed the outcome of the game for Chelsea.

The Croatian, who has suffered from a number of knee problems that have not allowed him to play as much as he and the coach would have liked, is an important part of Graham Potter's plans, both for the present and for the future. Thus, according to the Evening Standard, there is "a desire to start talks on a new contract next year after the World Cup".

The former Real Madrid player's contract expires in 2024. "Kovacic would be open to discussing a new contract, as he is comfortable in west London, both off and on the pitch, where he married and had his first child ", adds the press.
