City issued a video on social media showing their new player wearing next season’s kit.

The ex-Real Madrid ace went on to strike a few poses with a big smile on his face.

The Croatian international travels to the Etihad after agreeing to a £30 million deal with the Blues, claims transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

According to Romano, City offered the 29-year-old a deal for £25 million plus £5 million in add-ons.

The Croat signed a four-year agreement with Pep Guardiola’s team.

Kovacic said: “This is a brilliant move for me.

“Anyone who has watched this team under Pep knows how good they are – for me, they are the best in the world.

“To be joining this squad really is a dream for any footballer”.

After initially joining Chelsea on loan from Real in 2018, Kovacic later committed to a long-term contract.

In 221 appearances at Stamford Bridge, the former Inter Milan player went on to record a total of six goals and 15 assists.
