Inter are contemplating the idea of resigning Mateo Kovacic in the upcoming summer transfer window, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Kovacic made 97 appearances in two-and-a-half seasons for the Nerazzurri before he was sold to Real Madrid for €29 million in the summer of 2015, signing a six-year contract upon arrival.
During his time in Spain the midfielder has won eight trophies in less than three seasons, including two Champions Leagues and one La Liga title, but has only made 19 appearances in La Liga during the current campaign.
The Rome-based publication therefore believe Kovacic is considering the idea of leaving Los Blancos in the summer, in order to find more game time, and that Inter could fit the bill for him.
“Inter could be the right club for Kovacic to return to the spotlight,” they wrote on Wednesday. “However this is of course on the condition that the Nerazzurri are involved in next season’s Champions League, otherwise it will not be possible.
“If Europe’s top club competition is a key condition for the Croatian, though, Inter could offer him everything he would want, or rather a club that he knows well and therefore would not need time to settle into.”
Following Piero Ausilio’s proclamation last week that Inter were pursuing a ‘young’ player who ‘might arrive from a top club’, alongside Kovacic the paper has also identified Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot and Manchester United winger Anthony Martial as potential transfer targets for the following season.
