Manchester City has made it clear that they have no intention of allowing Mateo Kovacic to leave in the January transfer window, despite strong interest from Al-Nassr. The Saudi club, backed by Cristiano Ronaldo's recommendation, has set their sights on the Croatian midfielder, who has been a key player in Pep Guardiola's scheme this season. Despite rumors of a tempting offer, City plans to keep the player, who has proven his importance to the team since his arrival.

Kovacic, 30, joined Manchester City this summer and quickly adapted to Guardiola's style of play, filling key absences in midfield such as Rodri's. His ability to link defense with the attack and his experience in high-level competitions have made him an indispensable player for the current Premier League champions. It's not surprising that Al-Nassr has shown interest in signing him, especially with the rumored economic offer that could reach £800,000 per week.

However, Manchester City does not seem willing to let the Croatian depart in January as his exit would disrupt the team's balance mid-season. Additionally, Guardiola is focused on maintaining stability in midfield to continue competing in all competitions, including the Champions League. Although the Saudi club has a strong relationship with City, having signed players like Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte in the past, Kovacic will not be part of that exodus, at least for now.

Matheus Nunes could potentially leave in the winter market

Al-Nassr's interest in players like Kovacic reflects their ambition to strengthen with key names, but it seems that Manchester City has no intention of facilitating that task this time. While several players have moved from the Premier League to the Saudi Pro League in recent months, Guardiola has been clear in his policy of retaining his team's key pieces.

On the other hand, Matheus Nunes could be an alternative for the Saudi club if they continue to seek reinforcements from City. Kovacic's stay in the team will be crucial to maintaining the competitive level the club has shown in recent years. All signs indicate that, at least until next summer, the Croatian will continue to wear Manchester City's colors.
