Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic enters the last year of his contract with the Nerazzurri and the Croatia international reportedly asks for an increased salary to stay.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the new Inter coach Simone Inzaghi wants to keep Brozovic at San Siro and the club hopes to reach an agreement with the 28-year-old after Euro 2020.
The former Dinamo Zagreb midfielder prepares to face Spain in the last 16 of the European Championship on Monday, but his future with the Nerazzurri is far from settled.
His contract in Milan expires in June 2022 and Inter might have to sell this summer to avoid losing the influential midfielder on a free transfer.
The newspaper believes the arrival of Hakan Calhanoglu on a free transfer from Milan led to economical demands from Brozovic.
The defensive midfielder played 33 games in Serie A 2020-21, helping the Nerazzurri pick up their first Scudetto in 11 years and the report claims he’s asking for €6m a season to renew his deal with the club.
Brozovic is currently on a €3.5m-a-year deal and has reportedly increased his demands after learning that Calhanoglu signed a contract worth €5m plus bonuses with the Beneamata.
The talks have been postponed until after the Euros this summer, but Inter might have to sell the Croatian should the two parties struggle to reach an agreement.
