Mateo Kovacic signed for Manchester City from Chelsea on a four-year deal, City confirmed on Tuesday.
Kovacic has been with Chelsea since 2019 and he had a contract until 2024.
Following his move to City, Kovacic took to Twitter to send a message as he wrote: “It’s an honour to join this club, everyone has been so welcoming and it’s a privilege to be at a club that has been so successful over the years.”
The 29-year-old joined City a day after Ilkay Gundogan left the club and he will be taking Gundogan’s number 8.
