The negotiation with Al-Nassr could turn into a boomerang for Inter: now the Arabs no longer want to pay the agreed sum and the relationship between the Nerazzurri and Brozovic could be ruined forever
After agreeing to the purchase for 23 million and offering Brozovic 100 million over three years, Al-Nassr blocked the negotiation under pressure from the Saudi League. That is why the Saudis in Riyadh have asked the Nerazzurri for a discount: they would like to pay Brozovic only 15 million. Meanwhile, the Croatian has also asked Zhang for a severance package.
Fabrizio Biasin, a journalist from Libero, spoke live to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPlay channel, to reveal the state of the conflicting relationship between Inter and Brozovic to date. “Either the Saudis find the resources to reopen this negotiation, or Brozovic will not go to Al-Nassr. The Saudi Federation blocked the deal because it was too big an expense. Inter, from its point of view, wonders why the player can be given 100 million and the club is asked for a discount of 8 million,’ the journalist began.
Barcelona, on the other hand, seems to be at a standstill: ‘There is no offer for Brozovic from Barcelona. Inter had opened to his departure for €23 million. Below that figure, Brozovic cannot move from Milan.”
“From Saudi Arabia they blocked the operation for Brozovic suddenly,” Biasin reiterated. “Yesterday the intermediaries got carried away. On balance, they realised it was a huge expense. They decided, therefore, to take money out of the proposal to Inter and, from that moment, the tone was raised. The Croatian didn’t have all that much desire to go to Saudi Arabia, he got in the way for a severance package. “
Relationship ruined between Brozovic and Inter: “Complicated solution “
Brozovic
“Brozovic likes Milan and likes Inter and that’s why he renewed his contract last year, giving up a lot of money. He is fine at Inter,” Biasin continued. ‘Closing this relationship in a hasty and sudden way destabilised him. Now he’s gone sideways. Evidently the relationship between Inter and Brozovic has been ruined, and now a solution will have to be found. “
Regarding Onana’s transfer, however, Biasin anticipated that there is a meeting scheduled between United and Inter to define the purchase. “Inter are asking for 50 million plus bonuses. If this offer arrives, the deal will be concluded, otherwise we have to negotiate and find a square. The feeling is that United have set their sights on him. And Inter have already been eyeing replacements. The most likely ballot is between Trubin and Mamardashvili’.
‘I would exclude Meret,’ concluded the interviewee, ‘De Laurentiis in Italy does not sell anything unless there is a rescission clause. Why should Meret be sold? I don’t believe it. “
