Real Madrid expected a quick transfer after the midfielder asked to leave, but the Premier League champions refuse to lower their valuation. The English side are happy to keep him until his contract ends in 2027 if the fee isn't met. Meanwhile, club bosses are also chasing Lille star Ayyoub Bouaddi, which could lead to Kovacic leaving instead.
