According to journalist Rudi Galetti, this summer Pep Guardiola will carry out a major renewal of his team, so a number of players will leave the club, among them the experienced Kovacic.
Madrid's Atletico are seriously interested in signing the midfielder. The Spanish club has already taken concrete steps towards his transfer – they have contacted the player and also held indirect talks with City. The English are ready to sell Kovacic for 30 million euros.
As expected, Guardiola is already busy preparing for the transfer window and has identified a top priority for strengthening the midfield. According to sources, Ederson, the Brazilian midfielder from Atalanta, is City's main transfer target.
Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested in the midfielder, but City are determined to force a deal. Guardiola believes that Ederson will fit perfectly into the team's style of play and will be a great partner for Rodri.
Let's add that this season the Brazilian has 4 goals and 2 assists in 41 matches for Atalanta in all tournaments.
