Marcelo Brozovic is the defensive midfielder who has become a favorite of FC Barcelona. The 30-year-old Croatian midfielder has the perfect condition not to play exactly like Sergio Busquets but to fill his vacancy, due to charisma and experience. As already reported by MD, the favorite candidate for Culé coach Xavi Hernández is Martín Zubimendi, but the 24-year-old midfielder from Real Sociedad does not have the price (60 million euros) or the desire to leave the club of his life now that he can play in the blue and white of the Champions League. That’s where Culé Brozovic enters the scene, where his club, Inter Milan put a price to balance your accounts and go for your market goals: €25 million.
Brozovic has been a referential player for Inter, but the ‘Nerazzurri’ club understands that, with a contract signed until 2026, it is time to take advantage of an amortized footballer. Inter are in a hurry to realize his idea because the midfielder he wants to bet on in the future is also wanted by Milan and also by Juventus. It treats the Italian international for 23 years Davide Frattesi, for which Sassuolo is demanding 40 million euros.
Derby with Frattesi’s Milan
The Nerazzurri will have to sell Brozvic to bring in Frattesi. Milan made a similar move by selling midfielder Sandro Tonali to Newcastle for €70m, €40m of which would go towards signing Frattesi.
Giuseppe Riso, Tonali and Frattesi’s agent, said that “Frattesi will decide which team he wants to go to”. La Gazzetta dello Sport confirmed that Inter currently have “an initial advantage given the weeks of negotiations but they have to sell Brozovic first”. And be careful because the dean of the European sports press with the MD warns that the option of Barça is there because “there is real interest”, as confirmed by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The hostile takeover bid launched by the League of Suadí Arabia for talent from the old continent also tempted Brozovic, offering him a contract for three seasons at a rate of 15 million euros net for each of them. But Barça did not throw in the towel like it did with Ilkay Gündogan. The German midfielder from Manchester City preferred the illusion of playing for Barça over the mega-offer from Al-Nassr. The key is back to the player. Brozovic will decide, just like Fratessi will decide where he will play from next season.
