Tottenham Hotspur have launched a £35.7m bid to sign Marcelo Brozovic but Inter Milan are holding out for closer to £45m for the talented midfielder, according to reports in Croatia via Bleacher Report.
Mauricio Pochettino has endured a difficult summer as chairman Daniel Levy has failed to land any of his prime targets so far meaning Tottenham are yet to build on their impressive third-placed finish in the Premier League last season.
Spurs are keen to bring in a new midfielder before the transfer window shuts and Jack Grealish has been touted as a key target but the Evening Standard claims Aston Villa have rejected Tottenham’s latest £25m bid for the England Under-21 international.
Pochettino is looking at alternatives and it seems Brozovic is now on his radar as Bleacher Report are citing a report from Sportske Novosti that claims Tottenham have tabled an opening £35.7m bid for the midfielder.
The Croatian publication says Brozovic is keen to secure a move this summer but Inter Milan have rejected Tottenham’s offer and are demanding the players £44.6m release clause is paid in full.
Brozovic joined Inter from Dinamo Zagreb in 2015 and after a mixed start to life in Italy he’s established himself as a key player having provided 18 goals and a further 9 assists in his 112 appearances so far.
The 25-year-old featured for Croatia at the World Cup where he played alongside Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic to lead his country to their first ever final before eventually losing 4-2 to winners France.
