Barcelonaare makingInter Milanmidfielder Marcelo Brozovic one of their transfer targets in that position this summer,CaughtOffsideunderstands.
The Croatia international is alongsideManchester City‘s Ilkay Gundogan as one of the names on Barcelona’s radar this summer, while Franck Kessie could make way in that position as he’s not in Xavi’s ρłɑɴs.
Sources with a close understanding of Barca’s transfer ρłɑɴs have informedCaughtOffsidethat a swap Ԁєɑł involving Kessie and Brozovic can’t be ruled out at this stage, with Inter known to be keen on the Ivory Coast international.
Kessie was a star player forAC Milanbut has struggled since moving toBarcelonalast summer, so a return to the San Siro could appeal to the 26-year-old.
Sources also toldCaughtOffsidethat there is tentative interest fromMan Cityin Brozovic, however their current priorities remain fellow Croatians Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol.
Marcelo Brozovic toBarcelonaor Manchester City?
Positive talks have taken place over Kovacic’s potential move to the Etihad Stadium, but with Gundogan at the єɴԀ of his contract there could be room for further additions in the middle of the park.
Brozovic may also be a tempting option forCityandBarcadue to Inter’s poor financial situation, with theChampions Leaguefinalists needing to make sales this summer.
Brozovic, 30, has been at Inter since 2015 and has won one Serie A title, plus two Coppa Italia finals, whilst finishing as a runner-up in both the Champions League and the Europa League.
