‘Not 100% sure’ – Chelsea star considering his future after stalling on a new deal
According to journalist Simon Phillips, Mateo Kovacic of Chelsea is “not 100% convinced” if he wants to extend his contract with the club.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The midfielder’s season at Stamford Bridge has been hampered by injuries.
Although the 28-year-old has been used frequently by both managers this season, Graham Potter has acknowledged that he has not been truly fit since the start of the campaign.
At the World Cup with Croatia, he is starting to show signs of regaining his previous level of fitness.
The 2018 finalists won their first match of the competition yesterday against Canada thanks to a commanding display in the middle of the field, giving them a strong chance to advance from their group at Belgium’s expense.
Given how crucial the midfielder was to the team last season, Chelsea supporters will be hoping this is a sign that he will return to form frequently.
Undecided about Kovacic’s future
They might be alarmed by Phillips’ assertions, though, given that the Croatian is apparently leaving his options open for the future.
“Chelsea wanted to sign him before the World Cup, but that didn’t happen,” he claimed. Kovacic and his team are currently looking into alternative options. They aren’t certain whether they want to continue working with Chelsea.
There may be worries that the first-team exodus from Stamford Bridge is imminent given rumors that they are also having trouble locking down Mason Mount to a new long-term contract.
When the Blues are involved, the constant buzz about new acquisitions can often detract from some of the players who are already on the team.
Todd Boehly would do well to keep track of the key players on the team and make sure Graham Potter doesn’t have to spend any time there alone.
