WORLD CUP | Man City Offer Kovacic to Inter, but Interest Cooled

Manchester City have offered Croatia international Mateo Kovacic to Inter Milan in recent days, though the Serie A champions are unlikely to pursue a move due to midfield congestion, according to Yahoo Sports. Kovacic, 32, has been identified as surplus to requirements at City following the arrival of Elliot Anderson. A move would "hardly be considered at the moment," per a report from Italy, though the situation could shift if Inter's squad changes.
