According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Mateo Kovacic is the top priority for Juventus. The midfielder is contracted to Manchester City until June and his prospects there appear to be diminishing. After the arrival of players including Elliot Anderson, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Enzo Fernández, Kovacic has started only two times this season. There have been no concrete talks yet.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus has included Mateo Kovačić among the players it wants to sign without a transfer fee in the summer transfer window of 2027. Kovačić has a contract with Manchester City until June 2027, and from the beginning of 2027, Juventus can negotiate directly with him about a move for the following season. Football Italia reports that Juventus is interested in Kovačić because of his experience, quality, and his decreased playing time at Manchester City after several new arrivals. Last season was difficult for Kovačić due to injuries, as he played nine times for City, totaling 242 minutes, with one assist.

According to Italian media, Juventus is interested in Mateo Kovačić.

Juventus are considering Mateo Kovačić, a player the club has previously targeted, as an option to add experience and personality. The Croatian is described as leaving Manchester City following an inconsistent season in the Premier League. At present, there are only indications of interest from Juventus, and no formal negotiations have begun.
