# Kovavic on Inter exit: “Never say never”

Reported Liverpool transfer target Mateo Kovacic has refused to rule out a move away from Inter Milan.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are thought to be pursuing the Croatian midfielder and the player has spoken out about rumours of a departure from the San Siro

Speaking to *Sky Italia* whilst on international duty, the 21-year old said: *“I signed a new contract some months ago and I want to stay here.*

“Right now, yes \[I want to stay\], but you can never say never.”

These comments come after Roberto Mancini appeared to quash any chance of a deal.

Another move which may put Kovacic’s potential suitors on alert is Inter’s rumoured deal for Wolfburg’s Ivan Perisic, a potential replacement should Kovacic leave.

The Inter Milan midfielder was quick to comment on Perisic: *“He is a great player and would be a bonus for any team, not just Inter.”*
