Chelsea’s on loan star Mateo Kovacic has admitted he is open to staying at Chelsea.
“I think it [a loan switch] was the most important thing I did for now in my career. It was a step I wanted a lot, I wanted to come here. I say thank you to my previous club, to Chelsea as well, who wanted me a lot. I am enjoying it and I like it a lot here. For now, I am happy here. The city is amazing, the club is one of the best in the world, and my team-mates are great. I need to respect my previous club, Real Madrid. I can imagine myself staying here, but I have a contract I need to respect, and that is what I will do. For now, my business is to give my best every day.”
Speaking about Hazard, Kovacic added: “For me, he is an incredible player. I did not know he was that good and he can easily be one of the two or three best players in the world. He asked me how it was there [at Real] but we are looking forward to having a great season together, to be fully concentrated on Chelsea. He is focused a lot on doing great things with Chelsea.”
