Liverpool are set to hold talks with the agent of Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic, according to 90min.
As per the report, the Croatian’s representatives have arrived in England as they look to sort the player’s future.
The 28-year-old will enter the final year of his contract at the end of the season, and little progress has been made regarding an extension.
Kovacic’s team are set to hold discussions with Chelsea over the coming days, but they have also scheduled talks with a number of Premier League giants.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United will all hold talks with the midfielder’s camp, having all expressed an interest in his services over the past few months.
Liverpool interested in Kovacic
Since January, Chelsea have adopted a new policy concerning any unsettled players, in which those in the final two years of their deals will be made available for the right price.
This means the West London outfit will be willing to part ways with the Croatia international, in what could be for a cut-price fee.
Liverpool are hoping to rebuild their midfield this summer, and the 28-year-old would certainly be an upgrade on the players Jurgen Klopp has at his disposal at the moment.
Hailed by West Ham star Declan Rice as an ‘incredible’ footballer, Kovacic would add extensive Premier League experience to the Reds’s starting XI.
Having arrived at Stamford Bridge in a deal worth £40m, he would also prove to be a brilliant value-for-money signing, as he could be available for less than what the Blues paid for him.
