Chelsea redeem Kovacic’s rights from Real Madrid

The deal had to be reached by June 30th and that ended up being the case. Chelsea will in fact redeem the rights to Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid for a fee of €50 million, bonuses included. The former Inter midfielder will sign his contract by Saturday, there are just a few details remaining on the wages.

The deal was possible despite the Blues’ transfer ban since Kovacic was already matriculated with the club following his previous loan spell.
