Inter return would make Motta 'happy'

Paris St-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta admits he would like to return to former club Inter Milan before he calls time on his career.

Motta left the Giuseppe Meazza in January after forcing a move to the ambitious French Ligue 1 side, and appeared to burn his bridges with the club after claiming he didn't get along with several of his former team-mates.

However, the Italy international, who starred for the Azzurri at Euro 2012, now reveals he would be very open to playing for Inter once again.

"If I can return [to Inter] someday, I would be happy," Motta told Sportal. "But now I'm thinking only of PSG."

The 29-year-old also spoke of his belief that the Nerazzurri could do well under new coach Andrea Stramaccioni, but also admitted he is loving life in the French capital under sporting director Leonardo and coach Carlo Ancelotti.

"I do not know him [Stramaccioni] well but they [the players] are saying that he's good," Motta added. "Stramaccioni, if he is supported, can do well.

"With Leonardo, we talked about everything; about how difficult it was for me to take this step.

"Ancelotti took me to dinner. He is great at putting players at ease."

Since PSG were taken over by Qatar Investment Authority in 2012, the club have been one of the biggest spenders in world football and have signed the likes of Thiago Silva, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Javier Pastore in recent seasons.
