Nottingham Forest is ready to outpace its rivals in the race for Kovacic.
Details: According to renowned and reputable journalist and insider Ekrem Konur on his X social media page, Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic could change clubs as soon as the upcoming transfer window.
Konur reports that Nottingham Forest has shown serious interest in the experienced Croatian, considering him a key reinforcement for their midfield ahead of the new season.
However, the English club faces stiff competition. Italian powerhouses AC Milan and Juventus are also vying for the 32-year-old midfielder, while Aston Villa is named among the player's potential destinations as well.
Kovacic’s invaluable Premier League experience is seen as one of his main assets, giving Nottingham’s coaching staff the opportunity to make their midfield more dynamic and reliable.
Last season, Kovacic made just 9 appearances for Manchester City, providing 1 assist. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is currently estimated at 10 million euros.
