Marca: Manchester United offer Real Madrid €60m for Mateo Kovacic

Manchester United have spoken to Real Madrid over a deal for Mateo Kovacic. The English club, according to Marca, offered €60m for the Croatian midfielder. Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the player who has reiterated his desire to leave Real Madrid this summer.

However Kovacic isn't interested in a move to Old Trafford as he isn't convinced by their style or project. This makes a transfer extremely unlikely at this point. The player is still searching for a move but to a club which would suit his style more and who could offer him regular playing time.

In the next few days, Kovacic will return to preseason training under new coach Julen Lopetegui. The two are expected to have a meeting to discuss future plans. Lopetegui hopes to convince Kovacic that he'll play a more active role in the first team next season. Although the player himself isn't convinced that would happen due to the competition for places at Madrid and is intent on leaving the club.
