Brozovic has said no to the first contract offer from the Saudis: annoyed, he reportedly asked for a two-year, 30 million-a-season deal
Fabrizio Biasin, a journalist from Libero, spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPLAY channel, to explain the reasons that prompted Marcelo Brozovic to turn down the first million-dollar offer from the Saudis.
“Brozo liked the post in which I explained that he wants to play again in football that counts. I know how the boy thinks. We wrote to each other and I know what Brozovic has in mind. Everyone here has been reckoning without the innkeeper, which is him. On the one hand there are those who would like to close the deal quickly for legitimate reasons. But in my opinion, few have reasoned with his head. Those who have got to know Brozovic know that he will shoot high. It takes many millions to convince him to give up his career’.
“Going to Saudi Arabia today means this, it means accepting to go and do something else. Some say 30 million, but it’s not even just about money,’ Biasin continued. “He at this moment hopes to find a solution to continue as a footballer. So it’s unlikely at this moment that Brozovic will accept the Saudis’ proposal. “
The solution? “Either the Saudis go crazy and offer him to say 40, or Inter block everything and keep him. But that’s difficult. The other possibility is that someone else comes forward like Barcelona. “

“His annoyance is that last year he could have left at zero, taking a signing bonus and a higher salary; instead, he chose to renew his expiring contract, which nobody does anymore, at a significant sum but lower than other proposals he had,” the journalist explained.
Regarding Onana’s transfer, Biasin said that it will be difficult not to sell him for certain figures. ‘In an ideal world I would keep Onana and get Lukaku back, but you have to see if there are the funds to complete all the pieces. It’s true that Thuram’s 6 million wages are a lot, but Dzeko cost more because you couldn’t take advantage of the growth decree.”
“If a 50 million offer for Onana arrives, the deal can satisfy Inter. Here we are talking about 50 million of pure capital gain. That would be the revenue that allows you to put the pieces of the puzzle in place. But as of this morning the offer has not arrived. That United can put that kind of money on the table is an open secret. But then there is also the coach’s will, in his head Inzaghi has immovable players and there is Onana, because any other goalkeeper will have to be educated to Inter’s style of play. “
