Manchester City have many players wanted by other clubs, including top star Erling Haaland.
Other stars have been pursued by European clubs, and 2026 will bring no change in the high interest of City players.
Pep Guardiola does not like to have a large squad, which could bring about multiple departures in Jaunary and the summer transfer window.
AC Milan are plotting an attempt to bring Mateo Kovacic into their squad, and the Italian giants are planning to use one of their players to bring him in.
How are AC Milan planning to lure Kovacic in?
According to Milan Live, the club plans to use fellow Croatian star Luka Modric to get Kovavic to Italy.

The two have a great relationship on and off the field, and AC Milan want to use this to ther advantage.
Kovacic is not in talks to extend his contract with City, which expires in 2027, and he could be available for a bargain fee of £9m, or €10m, according to the report.
Despite still having over a year remaining on his contract, Kovacic could exit early, given Guardiola’s attempts to bring more youth and energy into the squad.
The report also claims that there are other European clubs interested in Kovacic, but Modric’s influence could help Milan secure his signature.
