Mateo Kovacić will spend next season in Chelsea. There is no buyout clause in the contract between both clubs. As part of a tied transaction, Thibaut Courtois, for whom Real paid 35 million Euro, will go to Spain.

Croatian will be loaned for a year, after which he will come back to Madrid. Real have not given Chelsea an option to buy him after the season.

Kovacić announced his will to leave Real during Wold Cup, in an interview with Spain journal "Marca". However, Real still sees Kovacić as a Luka Modrić's successor.

Kovacić wants to play more

Last season he complained about low amount of chances given to him by Zinedine Zidane. He spent total of 1823 minutes and he has never started a match in starting eleven. He will be way more important in Chelsea London.
