Jose Mourinho is reportedly keen on bringing Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic to Fenerbahce as part of his ambitious plans for the Turkish club according to The Sun.

The Portuguese manager, who took over at Fenerbahce earlier this summer, has already made several high-profile signings, including Allan Saint-Maximin, Caglar Soyuncu, Cenk Tosun, and Youssef En-Nesyri.

Mourinho is now targeting Kovacic as a marquee signing to further strengthen his squad. The Croatian midfielder, who joined City from Chelsea in 2023, has been a regular for Pep Guardiola’s side but could be available for transfer.

Manchester City are reportedly open to selling Kovacic for around £25 million, the fee they paid to sign him from Chelsea.

The 30-year-old has enjoyed a successful career, winning numerous trophies with Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester City. He is highly regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world.

Mourinho’s arrival at Fenerbahce has sparked excitement among fans, and the club are determined to challenge for major honors. Signing Kovacic would be a significant statement of intent.

Whether Fenerbahce can secure the deal remains to be seen, but the pursuit of such a high-profile player highlights the club’s ambitions.
