Chelsea talking about Kovacic's renewal

Chelsea will change completely their mentality. Graham Potter's arrival was a breath of fresh air for the club. He saw a lot of things that had to be solved, for example, the need for a sporting director. Chelsea owner Todd Boehly targeted Laurence Stewart, who will leave Monaco in order to be focused on improve the club globally, as sporting director. 

After Rudiger and Christensen's departures, the team do not want to lose another player joining on a free. As a result, 31-year-old Kante and Jorginho, 30, could be the next renewals, with Kovacic's permission.

According to 'Evening Standard', Mateo Kovacic's continuity is crucial. The midfielder has a contract until 2024 but the board do not want to take the risk and they will offer him a renewal of his contract after the World Cup.

There are a lot of changes at the Stamford Bridge. Todd Boehly is changing the team: they were in mid-table after dismissing Thomas Tuchel and now, they are fifth on the same points as fourth place, Newcastle.
