Inter, Brozovic to Al Nassr for 23 million: Frattesi is waiting

It wasn’t the usual quiet early summer Sunday, also because the period is already pretty hot at Inter. Phone calls, emails, continuous contacts for negotiations, incoming and outgoing. But the central point always remains the same: until you sell, you can’t buy. And so the last Sunday of June became the key date for an excellent sale. Marcelo Brozovic is now virtually of Al-Nassr, the Saudi club in which Cristiano Ronaldo plays. The agreement between the two clubs has been defined in all its details, now it’s up to the player to find the final agreement. A matter of details, because the dialogue with the club has been going on for days and here too we are coming full circle: from the sale of the Croatian midfielder, Inter will collect 23 million euros, while Al-Nassr will guarantee Brozo a three-year contract worth 20 million net per season. Unmissable offer, for everyone.

GreetingsYet Barcelona tried to fit in until the last minute, focusing on the charm of the club’s shirt and history and bringing coach Xavi, one of the masters of the role in recent history, directly onto the field. But the negotiation to bring Brozo to Saudi Arabia was too far ahead to change course. A final formal passage between the parties is therefore expected today, before reaching the signatures on the contracts. Inter thus handed over what could have become the next captain after the farewell of Handanovic and D’Ambrosio: after spending several seasons as the center of gravity, the rise of Calhanoglu in the role of director brought down the untouchable status of Brozo, who will say goodbye after eight seasons. Some excellent fans have also tried to keep the Nerazzurri Epic via social media: “Stay” Fabio Fognini wrote to him, with two Nerazzurri hearts. And Brozo replied ironically: “Rafi (the son, ed) is ready to sign”. Curtain, on the question and on Marcelo’s adventure in Milan, where year after year he has become increasingly important and successful: a Scudetto, two Italian Cups, two Super Cups in his palmares, in addition to the Europa League and Champions League finals lost, which they make curriculum but they will remain engraved in the memory.

And Frattesi?However, Brozovic’s exit does not take Frattesi’s arrival for granted because in the meantime the basis of the negotiation has changed. Inter and Sassuolo had agreed on a onerous loan with an obligation to buy, for a total deal worth 35 million including Mulattieri’s price tag for the Emilians (6 million). Milan’s entry onto the scene has changed the cards on the table: the Rossoneri should meet Sassuolo between Wednesday and Thursday and could go further. Assessments are underway at Milan, Inter is waiting – thanks to the player’s yes – while Sassuolo are now changing their formula: definitive transfer immediately, take it or leave it. The derby is served, play your game.
