Brozovic wants Barcelona transfer, but agent pushing for Saudi Arabia move – report

As Barcelona step up their pursuit of Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, Mundo Deportivo’s Fernando Polo has come up with a fresh update on the matter.

Having given up their chase of primary defensive midfield targets in Joshua Kimmich and Martin Zubimendi, Barcelona are going all guns blazing in their pursuit of Brozovic.

The Croatian international has a contract with Inter until 2026 but is all set to be sold this summer as the Nerazzurri need to generate cash. They have slapped a €25 million price tag on their midfield mainstay heading into the summer transfer window.

Apart from Barcelona, Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr are also interested in Brozovic and are willing to throw a lot of cash at his signing.

But, as per the aforementioned report from MD, the 30-year-old midfielder prefers a transfer to Barça. However, his agent is pushing the Croatian to consider the prospect of moving to Saudi Arabia for financial benefits.

There is no way that the Blaugrana can match what Saudi Arabia are offering economically to Brozovic. And his agent is thus keen for the midfielder to move to Al Nassr as the veteran star will be on a much higher salary while the representative will also get a bigger commission from the deal.

Barcelona are aware of this situation and are hoping to convince Brozovic to snub a transfer to the Middle East. What works in their favour is that the 30-year-old is attracted by the idea of playing for the La Liga champions.

And despite his agent’s insistence, the final decision will be made by Brozovic and the upcoming days will be crucial in the transfer race for the seasoned campaigner.
