The FC Barcelona He is looking for a midfielder who can take Sergio Busquets’ place in the short term, taking into account that the Spaniard’s contract ends in the summer of 2023 and everything seems to indicate that he will not renew due to his poor performance in recent seasons. And a new name has been added to the extensive list that Xavi Hernández has. We are talking about Marcelo Brozóvic.
The 30-year-old Croatian is one of the best midfielders in the world. He is a fundamental piece in Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan and has just signed a great World Cup in Qatar 2022, being important for his team to get on the podium. And his performance has made Xavi Hernández fall in love, who sees him as a cheaper option than the rest of the names on the agenda.
Marcelo Brozovic, the midfielder that Xavi likes to replace Busquets
FC Barcelona would be willing to meet Xavi Hernández’s requirement and, as reported sky sports, the Blaugrana team would have made an offer to Inter Milan to take over the services of Marcelo Brozovic in the next summer transfer window. The offer would be an exchange with Franck Kessié, who has not finished performing since he arrived at the Camp Nou in summer and who has always interested the Nero Azurro team.
Inter Milan have not responded to the latest offer from the Blaugrana team, but they would not be against reaching an agreement considering the Croatian’s age since Franck Kessié is younger, as well as having experience in Serie A.
FC Barcelona is also keeping an eye on the situation of names like Rúben Neves, Martín Zubimendi and Alan Varela, who are younger but their market price is much higher.
