Inter Milan eyeing return for Mateo Kovacic – talks could open within days

Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic might be heading back to Serie A this summer. According to journalist Matteo Morreto, Inter Milan have shown concrete interest in the 32-year-old Croatian and are evaluating a move during the current transfer window. Sources indicate that preliminary discussions between the clubs could take place in the coming days. For Kovacic, a return to Inter would bring him full circle: he previously played for the Nerazzurri from 2013 to 2015 before moving to Real Madrid, then Chelsea, and eventually Manchester City. Kovacic’s current contract with the Premier League champions runs until the summer of 2027, but his future at the Etihad remains uncertain. Inter are looking to reinforce their midfield with an experienced operator, and the Croatian is believed to be a top target.
