Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to battle Barcelona in the summer for Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly expected to battle Barcelona for the signature of Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic.

The Croatia international signed for Inter from Dinamo Zagreb in 2016, and he has gone on to become a key figure in their side, registering 30 goals and 37 assists in 303 appearances.

Brozovic has been linked with a move away from Inter in recent seasons, but he signed a new deal with the Italian club in March 2022.

Although Brozovic is now under contract until June 2026, his long-term future at Inter still appears to be uncertain.

According to InterLive.it Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing the 30-year-old in the summer transfer window.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte only has a contract with the North London club until the end of the current season, but if he was to extend his stay, he would be keen to reunite with Brozovic.

Under Conte's tutelage, Brozovic was part of an Inter side that finished runners-up in the 2019-20 Europa League and won the Serie A title in the 2020-21 season.

During the club's title-winning campaign, Brozovic made 33 league appearances for Conte's side, chipping in with two goals and six assists.

However, Tottenham could face competition from Barcelona, who have also identified the Croatian as a potential transfer target.

Sergio Busquets is out of contract at the end of the season, and he is yet to decide whether to sign a new deal with the La Liga club.

As a result, the Catalan giants are scouring the market for possible replacements, and Brozovic appears to be on their radar.

Brozovic is believed to be reluctant to leave Inter, but the club's financial situation could force their hand.

With Milan Skriniar set to sign for Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer at the end of the season, Inter have missed out on an opportunity to cash in on one of their prized assets.

They may now entertain offers for other key players, and they are reportedly bracing themselves for a €25m (£22.2m) bid from Tottenham in the summer.

Alternatively, Spurs are considering a player-plus-cash deal, where they would offer €10m (£8.9m) as well as defender Japhet Tanganga.
