Kovacic will be unveiled as a Madrid player on Wednesday after undertaking a medical. "Real Madrid and Inter have agreed to the transfer of Mateo Kovacic," a statement on Madrid's website read. "He will remain at the club for the next six seasons."
Kovacic has been a pivotal player for the San Siro club over the last two years, scoring eight goals in 44 games in all competitions last season for Roberto Mancini's men.
