Following last night’s 2-1 win over Paris St Germain in the Champions League, Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic was asked about the possiblility of returning to Italy by Premium Sport.

“Going back to Italy? It’s hard to say at the moment, I’m happy here in Madrid but I loved Italy and Milan, in the future you never know.”

Mateo Kovacic, alongside Philipe Coutinho can be regarded as one of Inter’s biggest regrets. His sale was forced by problems with Financial Fair Play but due to the overall lack in value of the squad and players refusing transfers at the time, management had to chose between him and Mauro Icardi. While Icardi has become the captain of the Nerazzurri and earned respect among fans for his goal scoring whereas Mateo Kovacic will be able to boast a larger trophy cabinet, albeit while spending most of that time on Real Madrid’s bench.

Following his excellent performance against PSG, it’s looking good for the young Croatian. However, should he be kept waiting too long for more chances, perhaps a return to Inter could be a possibility in the future.
