JAKARTA - Manchester City will be left behind by the players who are the target of other clubs. Midfielder Mateo Kovacic is the target of Fenerbahce's new coach Jose Mourinho. Meanwhile, Atleticao Madrid hopes to swap forward Julian Alvarez with Joao Felix.

Man City will be busy looking after the players. Some of them reportedly wanted to leave. Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne plans to move to Saudi Arabia. De Bruyne's move was also followed by main goalkeeper Ederson.

Meanwhile, Alvarez expressed his desire to leave Man City. This Argentine national team striker has only been Erling Haaland's coating since being recruited from the River Plate in 2022.

Man City actually bought Alvarez at a very expensive price, 70 million. But he plays as a substitute more often. Alvarez was only the first choice if Haaland missed.

This is why Alvarez doesn't feel at home in Man City and hopes to move clubs that give him the opportunity to play more.

Atletico, who monitors Alvarez's situation, is interested in bringing him to Spain. The La Liga club plans to exchange players. Atletico poked Joao Felix to exchange for Alvarez.

Felix was once Atletico's new hope when he was recruited in 2019. Even Atletico are willing to pay 127.2 million euros for the purchase of the young Portuguese star.

But Felix never achieved the best performance so he did not get guaranteed to start. He is also loaned more often to other clubs. Chelsea once used his services on loan. Last season, Feix was loaned to Barcelona.

Kovacic is Mourinho's next Man City player, Fenerbahce's new coach. Mourinho plans to build this elite Turkish club squad by bringing in a number of players, one of which is targeting Kovacic.

The problem is, Kovacic is the pillar of The Cityzens. Since being left by Ilkay Gundogan to Barca, Kovacic has been able to strengthen the middle sector. Even this 30-year-old player is the key to the team's game under Pep Guardiola.

Kovacic's contract, which played 46 times last season, is still three years away at Man City.

The Croatian national team player has also been poor in top clubs such as Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Chelsea. He has won the Champions League four times.
