Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic’s contract negotiations are viewed as more important than the same discussions for Nicolo Barella by the club, according to a report in the Italian broadcast media.
As has been reported by Sport Mediaset, the reason behind this hierarchy is that Marcelo Brozovic will be out of contract in June 2022, meaning he can negotiate with other teams from January onwards.
If he were to agree on a deal with a club like Paris Saint Germain or Manchester United, Inter would receive no transfer fee for a player that is a key member of the squad.
Nicolo Barella on the other hand, will not see his deal run out until June 2024. Nonetheless, Inter still want to get him tied down to a more lucrative contract because he is also attracting interest from some of the best teams in Europe.
These deals could happen quickly now that Lautaro Martinez’s negotiations are over.
