All is not well for Marcelo Brozovic at Inter and the Premier League sharks are circling. The Croatian was dropped from the squad yet again at the weekend.
Premier League clubs have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Marcelo Brozovic, with the players’ agent confirming a rift between the Inter Milan midfielder and his manager Frank de Boer, according to Football Italia.
The highly-rated Croatian international, arguably the Serie A giants’ prized asset after influential striker Mauro Icardi, has been excluded from the squad a number of times this season, incurring an outburst from the player ahead of Inter’s impressive 2-1 win against champions Juventus in the Derby d’Italia last month.
Consequently, reports of a rift between Brozovic and his new coach at the San Siro, former Dutch international de Boer (below), have intensified in recent weeks, raising speculation that he will be sold in January.
“There isn’t much to say. The club will have to give its response to this situation,” the 23-year-old’s agent, Miroslav Bicanic, told FCInterNews.it, as reported by Football Italia.
“Has everything been resolved with De Boer? We are talking about an issue that is only between Marcelo and his Coach. The club will be able to explain.”
Brozovic remained conspicuous by his absence in the weekend’s 2-1 defeat to fellow Champions League chasers Roma, increasing the likelihood that he will seal a move away from the San Siro in the coming months.
According to Calciomercato, Spurs and Chelsea have retained an interest in the dynamic midfielder with Inter keen to sell Brozovic to a club outside of Serie A.
