There are reports Inter might not be able to sell Marcelo Brozovic to Al-Nassr because the Saudi club had its transfers banned by FIFA, so Barcelona are hoping to take advantage.
The Saudi Pro League team was banned from registering new players today after failing to settle an outstanding debt with Leicester City of €460,000 plus annual interest of 5 per cent.
The ruling was made in October 2021 after Leicester complained Al-Nassr failed to pay additional clauses in the €18m transfer of Ahmed Musa back in 2018.
So while Al-Nassr can sign new players, they cannot register them to play, and that may well include Brozovic.
That deal was worth €18m plus bonuses to Inter, although it too was a fraught negotiation process, as Al-Nassr continually changed their terms with both Inter and Brozovic.
Mundo Deportivo report Barcelona are poised to take advantage and attempt to snatch Brozovic away if the situation is not resolved swiftly.
Calcio e Finanza assure this won’t be an issue for Inter, who are owed the money regardless, but Brozovic might not be able to play for Al-Nassr.
