# Tottenham Hotspur: Lilywhites make agent approach for Brozovic

**As per a report in the paper edition of Tuttosport, via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-informed-players-situation-paratici-work-cut-get-conte-reunion/), there has been a development in Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Inter Milan star Marcelo Brozovic.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs eyeing move…

The Croatia international is yet another one of Antonio Conte’s former Nerazzurri men who he personally wants to bring to north London alongside defender [Stefan de Vrij.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/tottenham-hotspur-journalist-makes-stefan-de-vrij-claim/)

As per recent updates, the 52-year-old wants Brozovic at Tottenham with [TUTTOmercatoWEB](https://m.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/brozovic-rinnovo-in-bilico-piu-difficile-del-previsto-per-l-inter-e-l-addio-non-e-impossibile-1607327) even claiming that he is ‘ready’ to welcome the player with ‘open arms’.

This comes amid his 2022 contract situation at the San Siro, and despite Brozovic himself [admitting he would like to extend](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Inter/18-11-2021/brozovic-via-social-si-voglio-restare-inter-43023776060.shtml), Tottenham and many other clubs are waiting in the wings ready to take full advantage if talks break down.

### The Latest: Spurs make approach…

As per Tuttosport (via [SW](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-informed-players-situation-paratici-work-cut-get-conte-reunion/)), Tottenham are one of the many clubs to make an approach to the player’s representatives alongside Manchester United, París Saint-Germain, Atlético Madrid, Bayern Munich and even Newcastle United.

It is also believed that one of these clubs may have already offered Brozovic an €8 million-per-year (£6.7m) salary, which roughly translates to around £129,000-per-week.

### The Verdict: What Spurs need?

Surprisingly, despite being a traditionally more defensive player, the 29-year-old could come as a temporary solution to fill the Christian Eriksen-shaped void.

The [70-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcelo-brozovic/nationalmannschaft/spieler/156617)star was [remoulded as a playmaker](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/brozovic-gioca-al-rialzo-chiede-30-milioni-in-4-anni-psg-e-tottenham-interessate-1605237) at Inter last season whilst superstar duo Harry Kane and Son Heung-min were the only Tottenham players to match or better some of his creative stats in their respective leagues.

Brozovic averaged the [same amount of key passes per 90](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/87449/History/Marcelo-Brozovic) in the final third as Kane ([1.4](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Archive/England-Tottenham?stageId=18685)) over 2020/2021 whilst racking up six assists, highlighting how he could make an impact for Tottenham further forward ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/87449/History/Marcelo-Brozovic)).

Former Inter Milan and Udinese boss Andrea Stramaccioni described Brozovic as a ‘[very precious](https://www.italy24news.com/News/250324.html)‘ player for the Serie A giants and we believe he could become just as important under Conte in the Premier League.
