Midfielder Mateo Kovacic has refused to rule out a move away from Real Madrid in this summer's transfer window.

The Croatian international joined the Spanish giants from Inter Milan last summer, but struggled to make his mark at the Bernabeu and has been linked with a return to Serie A in recent weeks.

AC Milan and Juventus are said to be in the hunt for Kovacic, but the 22-year-old has revealed that he will not return to Inter Milan due to his "strange relationship" with head coach Roberto Mancini.

"Milan or Juve? You never know what will happen in the future, I do not know what is going to happen," Kovacic told Sport Mediaset. "I will not return [to Inter Milan] with [Roberto] Mancini on the bench. I had a strange relationship with him, but they are my things and there is no need to talk [about it]."

Kovacic is currently with the Croatian national team preparing for Euro 2016.
