According to a recent report from COPE, Barcelona has contacted Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic about a summer transfer. It is believed that Barca manager Xavi has contacted the Croat sensation in an effort to sign him this offseason.
Brozovic in Good Shape When he put on a string of standout performances for Inter at the heart of the park the previous season at San Siro, Brozovic anchored the midfield for them well. Last season, the 30-year-old made 40 appearances for the Italian team, scoring three goals and providing six assists overall.
The Croatian international had a respectable Serie A season, averaging 1.3 tackles, 0.8 interceptions, 0.9 clearances, 0.9 shots, 0.8 key passes, and 0.6 dribbles per game at the centre of Inter’s midfield. Based on his 89.6% pass completion rate in league football (stats from whoscored), he was even great when passing the ball to his teammates.
The summer of 2026 will see the expiration of his current contract with the Milan club. Therefore, if Barca wants to sign Brozovic during this summer’s transfer window, they will need to make a competitive offer.
Is Brozovic A Good Choice For Xavi, The Barcelona Manager?
The aggressive midfielder Brozovic can time his challenges well to win the ball back for his team in the middle of the pitch. When necessary, he doesn’t mind running his foot through the ball, and he can pass the ball well out of midfield. Brozovic is primarily a defensive midfielder, but if necessary, he can also play in the number ten position or as a box-to-box midfielder.
The sensational Croat can even help by scoring and assisting in a fair number of goals. He would therefore be a fantastic option for Barcelona manager Xavi to take into consideration this summer. The Inter star may still have a few productive years left in him at age 30.
We can anticipate Brozovic giving Barcelona’s midfield more bite and steel. He would even make it more difficult to get a spot on Xavi’s team. All things considered, the Catalan club would be wise to make every effort to sign the Croatian international before the transfer window closes.
