Kovacic
Manchester City and Manchester United are set to go head-to-head in the race to sign Mateo Kovacic, with the midfielder eager to leave Real Madrid in search of first-team football.
The Sun reports that the Croatia international has grown tired of playing back-up to the Luka Modric, Casemiro and Toni Kroos at the Bernabeu after starting just 10 matches in La Liga last season.
City were linked with a move for Kovacic after Jorginho rejected them to join Chelsea, but Sky Sports says the champions were put off by Madrid's reported £80m asking price.
However, the Sun now claims the 24-year-old has a £44m release clause, which would make him a much more affordable target for the Premier League top two.
