Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Marcelo Brozović from Inter Milan and a recent report claims that they are the frontrunners to sign the Croatian.
The 30-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Inter Milan recently and Mondo Calcio believes that Spurs have the edge in the transfer chase.
The Croatian has been a key player for Inter Milan since joining the club and he could be a smart buy for Antonio Conte.
The Italian needs more options in the middle of the park and Brozovic’s arrival will allow him to rotate his players more often.
The player is at the peak of his career right now and he could make an immediate impact in the Premier League.
It remains to be seen whether Spurs can agree on a reasonable fee with the Italian club for the midfielder.
Brozovic has worked with Conte before and he knows all about the Italian’s system and philosophy. He should be able to settle in quickly if he decides to move to England.
However, his contract situation could be a major issue in any move. He recently signed a new deal with the club until 2026 and Inter Milan are in a position to demand a premium for him.
On top of that, the player is earning £184k-a-week at the Italian club and Spurs might not be able to afford that kind of wage.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months.
