Marcelo Brozovic could still leave Inter with Manchester United among the teams watching on as his contract extension talks continue to stall, according to a report.
The 29-year-old defensive midfielder has proved a fantastic servant to all of the Inter managers he has worked with since moving there in 2015. But since his last contract extension in 2018, he has had more links with a move away.
Indeed, he has now entered the final year of his deal and United, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain all reportedly have interest in the Croatia international.
In the meantime, Brozovic has begun extension talks. Gazzetta dello Sport reports (via Sport Witness) that the player’s father and agent, Ivan Brozovic, held a first meeting with Inter chiefs on Wednesday.
Both parties feel that there is room for an agreement to be reached.
However, as outlined by Tuttomercatoweb, key hurdles remain in the talks. Inter raised their offer to close to €5million per season, but Brozovic wants €6million.
As a result, the discussions have been postponed. Nevertheless, Tuttomercatoweb adds that Inter now have a real fear that United could trump them and give Brozovic what he wants.
Gazzetta dello Sport adds that the player is already starting to look elsewhere. However, Inter are worried that he could soon be persuaded by the interested parties.
Brozovic has featured in all 12 of Inter’s Serie A games this term as they look to defend the title.
