The Croatia international has won four major trophies during his time at Chelsea – including his fourth Champions League in 2021 – while going on to make 221 appearances for the club.
Kovacic made 37 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea last season in a turbulent campaign which saw the Blues go through three managers before finishing 12th in the Premier League.
He was part of the Chelsea side who won the Champions League in 2021, coming on as a late substitute in the 1-0 final win over City.
At international level, Kovacic has made 95 appearances for Croatia, playing every game as they finished third at the 2022 World Cup.
Kovacic has just one year remaining on his contract and, at 29, presumably has limited interest in signing up for the rebuilding project in west London.
