Inter Milan legend Beppe Bergomi has urged the club to keep hold of Mateo Kovacic.

The young midfielder has been linked with Barcelona.

But Bergomi insists: "Barcelona wants Kovacic?

"He is a boy of 94, I have coached the youth until last year, they have ups and downs and have to feel the confidence of the environment.

"I would keep him, but I understand that for a '94 in the context of the chance to play for the likes of Barcelona would make a great picture.

"But the young are always hopeful."
