Mateo Kovacić, 29,has committed to a four-year deal with City, who are now the defending European champions. After Ilkay Gundogan left, City lost no time in adding to their team.
Kovacic is ready to start a new chapter in his career, despite the fact that the previous season he struggled with his form and fitness, which led to Chelsea finishing last in the league.
Gundogan, who recently scored against Manchester United in the FA Cup final, said goodbye to City and signed with Barcelona on a free transfer after seven fruitful years at the Etihad Stadium.
Despite their successful season, City remained ambitious and quickly acquired Kovacic, beating out Declan Rice and other possible targets for the midfield position.
Kovacic, who had one year left on his first five-year contract at Stamford Bridge, would reportedly cost City £34 million.
The Croatian midfielder initially signed with Chelsea on a season-long loan, but his strong performance throughout the 2018–19 season led to a permanent transfer.
Kovacic played 221 times for Chelsea during his tenure there, helping the team win the Champions League and Europa League.
