Real Madrid player Mateo Kovacic wants to stay at Chelsea.

The Croatian has enjoyed a good time in a three man midfield for Maurizio Sarri's side. He has played 41 times this season.

However, Chelsea have no agreement to buy him in the summer. It is unclear if Kovacic is in Real Madrid's plans for next season.

Goal.com reports that he would prefer to remain at Chelsea.

However, any potential move for the midfielder is complicated by Chelsea's two-window transfer ban.
