The Croatian midfielder refused to train with his teammates as he wished to leave Real Madrid with any cost in this summer transfer window. Kovacic was not getting regular chances for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have a great midfield trio of Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Luka Modric. The trio were always the first choice for Los Blancos in the previous season under the management of Zinedine Zidane. Mateo Kovacic has to stay at the bench of Real Madrid most of the times in the previous season. The midfielder was in the squad of Croatia in the World Cup. But he was also in the bench of Croatia.

The midfield comprising of N’Golo Kante, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic will be lit under the management of the new manager of the Blues, Maurizio Sarri. Chelsea FC also have Ruben Loftus Cheek, Ross Barkley and Cesc Fabregas in their squad to fight for the place in the three men midfield of Chelsea.

The manager has also stated that it would take some time to implement his strategies in the new club. Maurizio Sarri will wish to give Chelsea FC a new dimension in the next season.

The inclusion of Kovacic will surely help Chelsea to perform well in the Premier League as well as in the Europa League too. It will be a real good move in the career of Mateo Kovacic as he will surely get a lot of gametime at Chelsea in the next season.
