The Nerazzurri are willing to offer the Montenegrin striker a four-year contract as he is keen to get more game time elsewhere

By Fabrizio Romano Inter are set to step up their interest in Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic The Montenegro international has struggled for game time at the Etihad Stadium, with the likes of Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Wilfried Bony ahead of him in the pecking order.Jovetic was removed from City's Champions League squad earlier this year to make room for January signing Bony, a decision which he says "killed him" , and is open to the idea of returning to Italy with the Nerazzurri.The striker's agent, Fali Ramadani, has already discussed a deal with Inter representatives, who are ready to offer the player a four-year contract worth €3.5 million (£2.6m) per year after tax.However, City's director of football Txiki Begiristain intends to wait until a decision has been made on the future of under-pressure manager Manuel Pellegrini before any agreement to sell Jovetic is ratified.If a deal were to be done, the Premier League club would only countenance a permanent sale, though Inter would prefer a loan-to-buy arrangement which would see them eventually pay between €18m (£13.1m) and €20m (£14.6m).Inter could face competition, too, if Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone or Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta were to follow up on their admiration for the former Fiorentina forward.The 25-year-old's contract with Manchester City runs until June 2018.
