Europe's biggest clubs are watching Mateo Kovacic's situation at Real Madrid.

Kovacic feels it's time to move somewhere he can be a regular.

"I would like to play more at Real Madrid because I love football and I love being on the pitch," he told Marca.

"I know that it's difficult to be a starter at Real Madrid, especially when I arrived at a really young age.

"I understand the situation, but because of that I believe the best thing for me would be to go to another club where I'd have the opportunity to play regularly as a starter.

"I think I can have this opportunity and it's one I want right now."

Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool have all been credited with interest in the midfielder.

He moved for £25.5m from Inter Milan in 2015 and will be rated at £40m if Madrid do agree to let him leave.
