Real Madrid have reportedly slapped an £80m price-tag on unsettled midfielder Mateo Kovacic.

Last month, Kovacic revealed that he would be looking to leave the Bernabeu this summer in search of regular first-team action.

The 24-year-old was again questioned on his future following Croatia's penalty-shootout win over Russia in the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup, and he answered "we'll see" when asked whether he would remain in Madrid.

Kovacic joined Madrid from Inter Milan in 2015 and has made over 100 appearances for the Spanish giants over the last three seasons, yet he started just 10 La Liga matches last term.

According to the Daily Star, Los Blancos would be prepared to sell Kovacic this summer amid reported interest from Manchester United and Manchester City, but the Spanish giants want £80m.

Kovacic has won one La Liga title and three Champions League crowns during his time in Spain.
