We may have been right about Milan’s interest in Mateo Kovacic after all.

As we reported recently, AC Milan haven’t given up on the Croatian, something that has been confirmed by Leggo.it today.

The Rossoneri are reported to have initiated contact with Real Madrid over the Croatian midfielder, acquired for €32 million last summer from Inter Milan and in dire need of playing time.

The Croatian international was a flop at Inter, and didn't do much better in Spain, where he won a Champions League trophy... from the stands of the San Siro.
