One of their most consistent performers under Pep Guardiola has been Ilkay Gundogan however the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder’s contract is up in the summer with the club hesitant about giving him a new deal.
As well as this Bernardo Silva has been linked with a move away and considering he has been used in a deeper role at times this campaign City will more than likely need a replacement for the Portuguese international.
Jude Bellingham will be City’s top target however they understand they will have one hell of a battle on their hands with Liverpool and Real Madrid.
If Bellingham were to sign though he wouldn’t be the only midfielder coming in and according to a report Chelsea’s Mateo Kovacic could be one that they look to bring in.
The Croatian’s contract runs out in 2024 and Chelsea may look to cash-in on the 28-year-old so they don’t go into next season with him only having 12 months remaining on his deal.
