Marcelo Brozovic: Chelsea want the Crao midfielder, is it the right deal?
Brozovic has been an integral part of the Nerazzurri squad since leaving Dinamo Zagreb in 2015. However, his shares have plummeted this campaign as he has been plagued with constant injuries. The Croatia international has made just 12 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring two goals. Nerazzurri boss Simone Inzaghi has managed to find a way to thrive in the middle of the park without the 83-cap Croatian international who has been indispensable to the Serie A giants over the years.
Therefore, Inter Milan are said to be willing to offload the 30-year-old due to his high salary and age and are ready to let him go for €30m. Chelsea are a long-time admirer of the Croatia international and are desperate for strong additions in the middle of the park. Both N’Golo Kante and Jorginho have their contracts expiring this summer. Meanwhile, Mateo Kovacic hasn’t been at his best this season either. So it’s quite obvious that Brozovic would be a pretty solid addition to the Blues’ midfield.
Brozovic is primarily a number six who is more of a deep playmaker than a destroyer. The 30-year-old would be a solid short-term replacement for Jorginho, who looks set to leave the Blues this summer. However, at age 30, it is definitely not a long term solution. Based on Chelsea’s recent strategy in the transfer market, it seems unlikely that they will sanction a move for the Croatia international.
