According to Tuttosport, Inter could turn their attention towards Mateo Kovačić should their pursuit of Jiangsu Suning midfielder Ramires end in failure.
The Turin-based newspaper speculates that negotiations with Real Madrid would be complicated, though they are reportedly open to the idea of allowing the Croat to leave on loan for six months.
Los Blancos view Italy as the ideal league for Kovačić to rediscover his best form in, given the fact he already has experience playing there with the Nerazzurri between 2013 and 2015.
Sporting director Piero Ausilio has been considering the idea of bringing back the former Dinamo Zagreb man for over a month now, and is aware that there could be room to negotiate with his Spanish counterparts.
Suning are determined to secure UEFA Champions League qualification, and are therefore willing to take Kovačić despite the fact he will return to Madrid in the summer. Meanwhile, Ramires’ agent is working in Marbella in order to unblock his client’s proposed move to Milan.
