OFFICIAL: MATEO KOVACIC COMPLETES PERMANENT MOVE FROM MADRID TO CHELSEA
Chelsea evening news live:
Mateo Kovacic has completed a permanent transfer from Real Madrid to Chelsea.
The 25-year-old Croat spent last season on loan at Stamford Bridge and has put pen to paper on a five-year contract.
Kovacic made 51 appearances for Chelsea last season, 36 of them starts, playing primarily on the left of midfield in Maurizio Sarri’s 4-3-3 formation where he was an important supplier of passes to top goalscorer Eden Hazard.
The 25-year-old contributed significantly to our Europa League-winning campaign, starting in 10 of the 15 games, including the final in Baku, and making two further substitute appearances. He was a standout performer against Arsenal in Azerbaijan and was involved in three of the goals in our 4-1 win.
Prior to his signing for Real Madrid four years ago, Kovacic was at Inter Milan in Italy and before that, Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia, for whom he has won 52 caps.
