#1 Kovacic and the demands of Mbappe

Can Chelsea keep him?

Mateo Kovacic may have permanently left Real Madrid once his loan deal with Chelsea was announced. It doesn’t look like he is going to be back but it also seems as though it won’t be Chelsea who get to keep him.

Kovacic joined Real Madrid in 2015 from Inter, who now want the player back. According to reports, Inter believe they can have him since his loan deal with Chelsea doesn’t include a buy-out clause.

Meanwhile, according to Diario Gol, Kylian Mbappe has handed his list of demands to join Real Madrid. Apparently, he has made 7 demands: to be the highest-paid player, to be the focal point of the system, €500,000 bonus on winning the Ballon d’Or, the number 10 shirt, a private driver, a butler (Batman Mbappe?) and a private jet.
