# Tottenham: Inter ‘preparing’ to sell Brozovic amid Spurs request

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) have made a ‘request’ to sign Inter Milan star Marcelo Brozovic as reports from Italy share an update on his future.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs eyeing a new midfielder?

The north Londoners are [widely believed](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/premier-league-spurs-transfer-rumours-latest-alasdair-gold/) to be targeting one or two new central defenders as a priority this summer, with [links surrounding](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/premier-league-spurs-marc-guehi-transfer-update-latest-rumours/) Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi among others.

However, alongside the possible additions of centre-backs, reports have [suggested](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/premier-league-spurs-martin-zubimendi-transfer-very-possible-latest-transfer-rumours/) that a new midfielder could also come to Spurs.

[Antonio Conte](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/antonio-conte/) will also be without Rodrigo Bentancur until [much further into this year](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/premier-league-spurs-team-news-rodrigo-bentancur-update/), and if the Italian remains at Tottenham for that long, he may want an alternative in the middle of the park.

### The Latest: Tottenham make Brozovic ‘request’…

Croatia international Brozovic is said to be a target for Tottenham, with Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport claiming (via [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/l-inter-prepara-l-addio-di-brozovic-4-club-lo-vogliono-55952)) that Spurs – alongside Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona – have made a ‘request’ to sign him.

Inter chiefs are apparently ‘starting to think’ about selling the midfielder amid that interest, with the Nerazzurri now ‘preparing to say goodbye’ to the 30-year-old.

### The Verdict: Right man?

While Brozovic [hasn’t had the best season](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/l-inter-prepara-l-addio-di-brozovic-4-club-lo-vogliono-55952) at Inter this time around, his exploits over 2021/22 indicate that he could be a real asset to Tottenham if he moves to north London.

As per [WhoScored,](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/75/Archive/Italy-Inter?stageId=19982) the Croatian was a mainstay under Simone Inzaghi, with only Samir Handanovic and Milan Skriniar being selected for more Serie A minutes. Brozovic also ranks in Inter’s [top four that season](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/l-inter-prepara-l-addio-di-brozovic-4-club-lo-vogliono-55952) for overall performance, while nobody in Inter’s squad averaged a [better rate of tackles per 90](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/l-inter-prepara-l-addio-di-brozovic-4-club-lo-vogliono-55952) in domestically.

\[freshpress-quiz id=”419177″\]

The player would come to N17 with real experience and pedigree, having won [seven major trophies](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcelo-brozovic/erfolge/spieler/156617) throughout a decorated career encompassing [541](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcelo-brozovic/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/156617) club and international appearances.

Taking home a reported [£189k per week](https://fbref.com/en/players/33b8d077/Marcelo-Brozovic#all_wages), his current salary would put him among Tottenham’s [highest earners](https://fbref.com/en/squads/361ca564/2022-2023/wages/Tottenham-Hotspur-Wage-Details), but his reported valuation of around [€30m](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/l-inter-prepara-l-addio-di-brozovic-4-club-lo-vogliono-55952) (£26m) is quite reasonable.
