According to 90min, Liverpool are set to meet with Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic’s agent
According to the report, the Croatian’s representatives have arrived in England to discuss the player’s future.
At the end of the season, the 28-year-old will enter the final year of his contract, and little progress has been made toward an extension.
Kovacic’s team will hold talks with Chelsea in the coming days, but they have also scheduled talks with a number of Premier League heavyweights.
Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United have all expressed interest in the midfielder and will hold talks with his representatives.
Liverpool is interested in signing Kovacic.
Chelsea has implemented a new policy regarding unsettled players since January, in which those in the final two years of their contracts will be made available for the right price.
This implies that the West London club will be willing to part ways with the Croatia international for a low-cost fee.
Liverpool are hoping to rebuild their midfield this summer, and the 28-year-old would undoubtedly be an upgrade over the players Jurgen Klopp currently has at his disposal.
Kovacic, described as a ‘incredible’ footballer by West Ham’s Declan Rice, would bring extensive Premier League experience to the Reds’ starting XI.
He arrived at Stamford Bridge in a £40 million deal and would be a fantastic value-for-money signing, as he could be available for less than what the Blues paid for him.
