Midfielder Petar Sucic jointed Inter Milan this month. The Croatian international will already have a chance to catch they eye at the Club World Cup this summer.
Inter had already wrapped up a deal for Sucic in February. However, he stayed at Dinamo Zagreb until the end of the season.
And as Tuttosport note, the rave reviews have rolled in for Sucic from his native Croatia.
The 21-year-old's performances both for Dinamo and for the national team have earned him comparisons to none other than legendary midfielder Luka Modric.
In particularly, Sucic's versatility has marked him out. The Croat is a physically strong player – but also not lacking in technical polish.

As Tuttosport note, Petar Sucic is capable of playing just about every role in midfield.

The Croat could very well play at the base of Inter's trio, as a backup for Hakan Calhanoulglu for example.
However, Sucic could also play in a box-to-box role in a midfield trio in the 3-5-2 shape Inter currently operate with.
Moreover, should new Nerazzurri coach Cristian Chivu switch to a 3-4-2-1 shape, Sucic could also fill any role in that midfield setup. He has the goals and assists in his boots to play as an attacking midfielder in the final third.
Therefore, reports Tuttosport, Sucic has put Henrikh Mkhitayran in particular on notice. The Armenian may finally find his place in the first-choice lineup under threat.

Report – Inter Milan Will Only Sign €60M Rated Atalanta Star On One Condition
Report – Inter Milan Will Only Sign €60M Rated Atalanta Star On One Condition Inter Milan will only move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson this summer if Hakan Calhanoglu departs. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that La Dea will hold out for a fee of €60 million for the Brazilian. Advertisement Inter Milan have reportedly been eyeing up a possible move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson. The 25-year-old has come to the end of his third season at Atalanta. He joined the Bergamo-based club from Salernitana in the summer of 2022. And Ederson has certainly grown into one of the outstanding midfielders in Serie A during his time at the Gewiss Arena. Inter Milan Will Only Move For Atalanta Midfielder Ederson If Calhanoglu Leaves MONZA, ITALY – MAY 04: Ederson of Atalanta BC in action during the Serie A match between AC Monza and Atalanta BC at U-Power Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) However, considering Ederson's form, Atalanta will not let the Brazilian go for cheap. The Corriere dello Sport anticipate that La Dea want a fee of at least €60 million for Ederson. Advertisement Therefore, Inter would have to make a big sale if they are to move for the 25-year-old. The obvious candidate in this respect would be Hakan Calhanoglu. The Turkish international could bring in a fee of around €35-40 million, which Inter could reinvest in a move for Ederson to replace him. However, if Inter do not sell Calhanoglu, then there would be little scope for them to sign the Brazilian.

Lazio Put Up A ‘Wall' For Inter Milan Target – €50M Release Clause Or Nothing
Lazio Put Up A 'Wall' For Inter Milan Target – €50M Release Clause Or Nothing Lazio have put up a 'wall' for Inter Milan target Nicolo Rovella, and will only sell the midfielder for his €50 million release clause. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan have reportedly recently sounded out a move for Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella. Reports indicate that the Nerazzurri are offering €35-40 million for the 23-year-old. They would see him as a prospective replacement for Hakan Calhanoglu in holding midfield.

(Photo by Marco Rosi –) However, Rovella has a release clause in his contract. If Inter were to make an offer of €50 million or so, then Lazio would have to accept it. But the Corriere report that the Biancocelesti aren't going to make it easy. That is the only offer that they will accept, there will be no negotiations. Advertisement Losing Nicolo Rovella would be a bitter blow for Lazio. Particularly considering their precarious financial situation and inability to make signings as things stand. Moreover, the Corriere note, selling Rovella wouldn't necessarily change things much. That is because the release clause for the Italian international is payable in three instalments. Therefore, Lazio would only bring in a cash windfall of around €17 million this summer if Inter or another club were to trigger Rovella's release clause.

Croatia Star Lauded For Bringing ‘Change Of Pace' To Inter Milan Midfield
Midfielder Petar Sucic is winning praise for bringing a 'change of pace' in the centre of the pitch for Inter Milan. Today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, note how the Croat's ability to use his acceleration and quick feet to create space can add a new dimension to Inter's midfield. Advertisement Petar Sucic really announced himself as an Inter Milan player against River Plate. The Croat had already made a couple appearances off the bench for Inter at the Club World Cup. There were cameos against the likes of Monterrey and Urawa Red Diamonds. But after those two relatively unimpressive displays, Sucic was decisive against River. He even provided the assist for Inter's all-important opening goal. Petar Sucic Brings 'Change Of Pace' To Inter Milan Midfield Welcome Petar Sucic Article Image In the view of the Corriere dello Sport, there is one quality in particular that marks Petar Sucic out. The former Dinamo Zagreb midfielder has no shortage of athleticism. And he can use this explosiveness to escape from his marker. Advertisement Moreover, Sucic also has the technical ability to manipulate the ball through pressure. Accordingly, even in a congested midfield battle, Sucic can not only retain possession, but do something proactive with it. That was on show with the Croat's assist against River Plate. And it could be a key factor for Inter in midfield next season and beyond.
