Mateo Kovacic's skill move on Andy Carroll shows why Pep Guardiola wants to sign him
With personal terms already agreed, it means that Guardiola will finally get the chance to manage the experienced ex-Real Madrid star.
Along with Luka Modric and David Silva, Kovacic admitted to looking up to Iniesta in an interview during his Inter Milan days back in 2013. He admitted that he loved 'their movements, their timing, the way they spread the passes and work for others', all qualities that fit perfectly with Guardiola's expansive style of play.
With City fresh from winning the treble, the 29-year-old will be desperate to show Guardiola that he's much more than an Iniesta fanboy though, with the Croatia international hoping that he can help City to a new level.
