Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta says a return to Inter would be “stimulating” and that he feels “a cycle has ended” in France.
The 32-year-old has been linked with a move back to the Nerazzurri this summer and fuelled these rumours while also appearing to encourage Atletico Madrid, another former club.
“I have the impression that a cycle has ended,” Motta said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta says a return to Inter would be “stimulating” and that he feels “a cycle has ended” in France.
The 32-year-old has been linked with a move back to the Nerazzurri this summer and fuelled these rumours while also appearing to encourage Atletico Madrid, another former club.
“I have the impression that a cycle has ended,” Motta said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’ve given and received a lot and it’d be more comfortable to stay, but I wouldn’t be being honest with myself or with a club I’ve learned to love. It isn’t a question of money, but stimulus.
“Returning to Inter would be a real challenge, as Mancini has shown with his choice to join the club again at a delicate moment.
“It’d be stimulating but also natural to rediscover a place where I won everything.
“Atletico is the same argument as Inter, although they are fighting at the summit of European and Spanish football, which isn’t easy when you have Real Madrid and Barcelona as adversaries.
“For me it would be just as motivating and I would give everything to do what I couldn’t manage to do the first time round because of injuries.”
