Chelsea chiefs have no plans to listen to offers for Mateo Kovacic.

Chelsea are yet to open official talks with Kovacic over extending his contract, reports football.london.

The Croatian remains a key part of manager Graham Potter's plans and that can be seen by his recent partnership with Enzo Fernandez in the middle of the pitch.

There will be plenty of interest in the 28-year-old should his situation remain the same or deteriorate.

Manchester City have been long-term admirers of the former Real Madrid midfielder but Chelsea would not want to sell to a club they aim to be competing with in the coming years.
