Mateo Kovacic wants everyone to know he’s not going anywhere. The Manchester City midfielder publicly declared that the club can “count on me” despite persistent summer transfer rumors linking him to Inter Milan, reaffirming his commitment to a contract that runs through June 2027.
The $CITY token and the loyalty premium
Manchester City’s fan token, $CITY, trades at approximately $0.37 as of early August 2026. The token launched on March 19, 2021, as part of the club’s fan engagement strategy built on the Chiliz blockchain through the Socios.com platform. Holders get governance rights on minor club decisions and access to various perks, but the tokens also trade on open markets.
Kovacic’s market value sits around €10 million, making him a mid-tier squad player rather than a marquee name.
