According to reports in Spain (El Chiringuito TV) - the Croatia midfielder is determined to stay in England.
Chelsea do not have an option to buy in the current loan deal, but could set themselves to front of the proverbial queue if a bidding war begins in the summer.
With Real Madrid also interested in Chelsea star Eden Hazard, it looks as if Kovacic could potentially be used as part of the deal with the Blues.
