Deal Close: Man Utd boosted in their pursuit for £75m-rated defender

The Mancunians have had their bid accepted by Real Madrid according to Marca, but the World Cup ace will resist the urge to join the Premier League giants.

Kovacic frowns deeply at Mourinho’s style of play and will instead prefer a move to join FA Cup winners Chelsea this summer, say Calciomercato via teamtalk.

The Blues have only managed two signings this summer in: Jorginho and Rob Green.

With just over 130 hours before the summer transfer door slams shut, will hope they can dicker a deal with the 13-time European champions.

Kovacic’s valuation stands on a high at 55 million pounds

This means the Red Devils have been put off a potential deal and the Belgian is now going to extreme lengths to join the rivals, with the defender desperate to play under Jose Mourinho.

Toby Alderweireld is tied into a contract until next June and Spurs have the option to extend it by another year – but triggering this clause could see the centre-back leave for just £25 million during a two-week period at the end of next summer.

According to The Daily Mirror, he is ready to let this happen and is prepared to reject all other interested clubs to seal a move to Old Trafford.

The Belgium international confirmed earlier this week that he is set to return to the capital ahead of Spurs’ Premier League opener with Newcastle. ‘I will return to London this weekend for the start of pre-season with my club,’ he said.
