Last month, Corriere dello Sport stated Marcelo Brozović is preparing to say goodbye to Inter Milan in the summer and has received a request from Tottenham Hotspur.

The midfielder has featured 19 times as injuries have restricted his appearances this season. He hasn’t been at his best since regaining full fitness last month. Hakan Çalhanoğlu was used in the 30-year-old’s absence and has excelled in the new role.

Therefore, the Croatia international’s exit is possible in the next window. That’s according to InterLive.it, who state he has admirers in the Premier League, ‘above all Tottenham’.

Fabio Paratici is leading Spurs’ pursuit of the player. The director is likely to continue while Antonio Conte is increasingly expected to leave the north London club after this season.

If Paratici’s stay is confirmed, he could ‘return to the assault’ for Brozović, and could propose Tanguy Ndombele, currently on loan at Napoli, as part of the deal.

Napoli have an option to buy the Frenchman but are unlikely to exercise it at the agreed fee. He is set to return to Tottenham in the summer and could be used as a ‘bargaining chip’ to sign the Inter player.

Meanwhile, Calciomercato.it state the Nerazzurri could sanction his sale for a fee close to €40m. Should Spurs try to buy Brozović using only cash, this is the fee they would have to pay.
