Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic says the club “count on me” despite recent speculation about his future this summer. The Croatia international, 32, is entering the final year of his contract at Etihad Stadium and has not yet been offered an extension, according to reports cited by different outlets.

In the latest remarks, Kovacic indicates he remains part of Manchester City’s plans despite links to potential moves. Interest has been reported from Serie A clubs, including Juventus and a return to Italy with former club Inter Milan also mentioned in coverage of his situation.

The reports frame the situation as uncertain, driven by the contract timeline and the lack of a new deal so far, while Kovacic’s message points to continued involvement with the current squad. Together, the sources highlight a contrast between transfer talk and the midfielder’s stated confidence that City expect him to stay.
