Juve to return for Madrid's Kovacic
By Football Espana staff
Juventus are set to launch a new bid for Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic this summer, according to reports in the Spanish press.
Diario AS say the Bianconeri are set to return for the central midfielder, despite seeing a €75m offer rejected for the player rejected by Madrid last summer.
The Croatian international joined Los Blancos in the summer of 2015 and has won three Champions League titles among nine trophies in the time period since.
The 24-year-old has started only 37 La Liga games across three seasons and started only 10 in his most recent campaign.
Kovacic joined the Spanish and European champions from Inter in 2015 in a €35m deal, having originally cost the Milanese giants €11m from Dinamo Zagreb.
The player has also been linked to both Milan and Inter alongside German club Schalke.

The midfielder is reportedly waiting to see who the new coach will be and his potential role at the club before making a decision.
Real Madrid's Mateo Kovacic once again comes under the Juventus radar. The Serie A club attempted to sign the Croatian midfielder in the 2017 summer transfer window, offering 75 million euros to take him off Real Madrid's hands. However, the offer was rejected by Real, a decision backed by Zidane.
Bit-part player
After Zidane's surprise departure from the club, Kovacic's future is once again up in the air and AS sources have been told that an immediate move away from Los Blancos is the most likely scenario, particularly if he is to remain a bit-part player. Kovacic sees himself as a regular starter, but last season in Real Madrid's crunch games he only started the first El Clásico - where he failed to convince - the return leg of the Champions League last 16 tie against PSG due to injuries to Modric and Kroos, and the second leg of the semi-final against Bayern in a tactical ploy by Zidane.
New coach
Therefore, before making a final decision the he is keen to see who is brought into the club as head coach and subsequently the role he would have among the squad. While this situation awaits its conclusion, Juventus remain on alert and have already contacted the player, but not the club.
