Matteo Kovacic refuses to train with Madrid

Matteo Kovacic is refusing to return to Real Madrid until his next move is decided, with Manchester United and Chelsea previously linked with the player.

Marca report that the Croatian midfielder is taking matters into his own hands as he looks to resolve his future at the club.

Kovacic has been very vocal in his desire to leave the club this summer as he goes in search of regular playing time.

Julen Lopetegui had been hoping to convince the player into staying at the club, but his efforts appear to have been unsuccessful.

Chelsea are said to have enquired about the possibility of bringing the player to London, with Maurizio Sarri a known admirer of the player.

Kovacic is a player that the Italian has followed since his time with Inter.

Manchester United have been heavily linked with the player, but recent reports have claimed the midfielder turned down a move to Old Trafford.
