Mateo Kovacic has told former Inter team-mates Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perisic he is missing life with the Nerazzurri, amid reports he could return to the club on loan.
FcInterNews.it reported Piero Ausilio and Beppe Marotta flew to Madrid yesterday for a direct contact with Real Madrid, with the intention of arranging a deal for the Croatian.
Zinedine Zidane does not consider Kovacic to be part of his plans going forward, with the club having sent him on loan to Chelsea for the 2018-19 season.
Inter’s pursuit of their ex-midfielder is described as ‘more than a simple enquiry’ and could be stepped up in the coming weeks.
Kovacic spent two-and-a-half seasons in Milan between 2013 and 2015, impressing for his flashes of talent but frustrating for his inconsistency and tactical anarchy.
Ausilio has never hidden the fact Kovacic’s €30 million sale to Real Madrid was one of the hardest decisions he has made in his career as a manager, but it seems he may be reunited with the Croatian this summer.
