Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic is seeking a better financial package from Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Croatian international’s interest in a move to the Middle East is contingent on receiving a significant increase in his salary.
While Inter and Al Nassr have reportedly agreed on a transfer fee, personal terms have become a stumbling block.
Al Nassr’s initial offer of €20 million per season did not meet Brozovic’s expectations, as he wants €30m to consider the move.
Brozovic’s reluctance to leave Europe is a factor in his negotiation strategy. The 30-year-old is holding out for a lucrative offer from Al Nassr or perhaps an enticing proposal from a European giant.
The prospect of joining Barcelona has caught his attention, and he remains receptive to exploring alternative options.
However, time is of the essence for Barcelona if they wish to secure the experienced midfielder.
They had him on their transfer shortlist but have since signed Ilkay Gundogan.
Brozovic does not want to jeopardise his chances of moving to Saudi Arabia entirely. It is crucial for the Spanish club to act swiftly and present a proposal.
In this high-stakes game of transfers, the next few days will undoubtedly be filled with intrigue and anticipation as Brozovic’s future hangs in the balance.
Inter are keen on receiving funds for the midfielder so they can move on to their transfer business.
The Nerazzurri are cash-strapped and need money from sales before they can pursue their targets.
They want to sell goalkeeper Andre Onana to raise funds. Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in signing him.
Inter reportedly want to make another offer to Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku. They are also in talks to sign Davide Frattesi from Sassuolo.
