Mateo Kovačić Focused on Manchester City Despite Saudi Interest

Mateo Kovačić has caught the attention of Saudi Pro League teams, but he wants to stay with Manchester City. The club’s managers and coaches also want him to stay with the team for the new season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Several teams from Saudi Arabia are interested in signing Kovačić because of his experience and talent. But the Croatian player is not interested in leaving City. Both the team’s managers and coaches think he is very important and want him to stay. There have been rumors about other clubs being interested in him, but Kovačić is focused on helping City.

KOVAČIĆ’S IMPACT AT CITY AND THE SEASON SO FAR

Kovačić joined City in June 2023 and became a key player in the midfield. Last season, he was important in several games and scored his first league goal for City against Chelsea, his former team. He started the 2024–25 season strong, scoring again against Chelsea in a 2-0 win. Although he hasn’t scored many goals or made many assists compared to some teammates, Kovačić is known for his good passing and hard work. As per reports, Manchester City aim to reclaim the Premier League title after finishing third last season, and Kovačić’s contributions will be vital as the team looks to improve from their previous season’s performance.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR CITY AND KOVAČIĆ?

City’s next game is against Wolves, who finished in the bottom half last season and started the current season aiming for higher. City are looking at improving last year’s 3rd place finish, and the ultimate goal will be to win the Premier League. Kovačić is expected to play an important role as City aim to compete for trophies and rejoin the top teams in the league. Despite the transfer rumors, both Kovačić and City plan to continue working together.
