Mateo Kovacic, a 32-year-old midfielder for Manchester City, reappears as an option to join Inter Milan for the 2027 summer when his contract in England ends. The Italian club is considering his possible return as part of a strategy focused on acquiring midfielders with a reduced transfer cost.

The Croatian could freely negotiate a pre-contract from January 2027 if he does not renew with City before that. His agents already offered him to Inter last summer, but no formal progress was made in the operation at that time.

Mateo Kovacic Emerges as an Option for Inter Milan

Inter Milan is reviewing its planning for the upcoming season due to possible changes in the midfield area. Tuttosport places Kovacic among the names managed by the sports management led by Darío Baccin.

The move would have a clear financial advantage: if he honors his contract with Manchester City, Mateo Kovacic could arrive without a transfer fee. The player signed with the English team in 2023 on a four-season agreement until June 2027.

For Kovacic, it would also mean a return to Italy. The midfielder was previously with Inter from January 2013 to 2015, during which he played 98 official matches and scored 8 goals before moving to Real Madrid.

However, his profile is not the only one under consideration. Inter is also looking for a midfielder with physical characteristics different from those of current players, with Frank Zambo-Anguissa being another option.

Frank Zambo-Anguissa Competes with Kovacic for a Spot

The Cameroonian's contract with Napoli ends on June 30, 2027, and initial discussions to extend his contract have not progressed. According to Tuttosport, Anguissa has requested a salary close to 6 million euros, compared to the current 3.6 million euros he earns.

Inter Milan is monitoring his situation because they believe he offers a more physical profile than other midfielders in the squad. There is also competition from Milan, and it's not ruled out that other clubs in Italy may get involved if he becomes a free agent. Napoli already set a price for Zambo-Anguissa last summer.

Anguissa has played 179 matches, scored 15 goals, and provided 20 assists since joining Napoli in 2021. He was also part of the Serie A championship teams in 2023 and 2025.

Inter to Decide Between Experience and Characteristics

The midfield context will influence the decision. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is likely to leave at the end of the season, and Hakan Calhanoglu's continuity is uncertain, so the club is exploring options before 2027.

There are currently no closed negotiations with either player. Inter will continue to monitor the contract situations of Frank Zambo-Anguissa and Mateo Kovacic in the coming months, and Kovacic's potential return to Italy will depend on whether he finishes his time at Manchester City without renewal before January.
