Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic has set alarm bells ringing at the Santiago Bernabeu after adding fuel to the fire of reports linking him with a move to Italy.

Whilst the Croatian continues his recovery from injury he has been spotted enjoying a holiday in Rome with his significant other, Izabel. But reports in the local press now suggest that the visit may be a case of business rather than pleasure.

Italian publication 'Corriere dello Sport' reports that Kovacic took advantage of his mini-break to hold informal discussions with Serie A giants Roma, who are very interested in making a move for the Croatian international.

The following image of the midfielder has since gone viral, with many taking it as a sign that Kovacic will be returning to Italy on a more permanent basis in the not too distant future.

Then again, maybe he just fancied a holiday in a nice country...
