Speculation is resurfacing around Mateo Kovačić returning to Inter, after the Croatian midfielder reconnects with former teammates. Multiple reports note that Kovačić maintains ties with people at the club and that he caught up with old friends during Manchester City’s visit for a match against Inter’s team, rekindling discussion about a possible move back to San Siro.
However, the reports also stress that any return is not straightforward. Inter are described as needing first to complete player outgoings before they can consider bringing Kovačić back. The renewed talk therefore centers on timing and squad planning rather than an immediate transfer decision.
Overall, the coverage aligns that Kovačić’s relationship with Inter has helped keep the idea alive, but that Inter’s transfer requirements—specifically the need to move other players on—are likely to determine whether and when the conversation becomes a concrete offer.
