The premise of reinforcing for the next season is one of the most talked about points of Barcelona. The azulgrana team only expects to finish LaLiga as champion to focus on what will be the next cycle. Marcelo Brozovic was emerging as an option for the midfield, but the rumor has lost strength in recent days due to his high value and the club's little intention to spend money.
According to the 'Daily Mail', Newcastle is willing to put €35 million on the table to get the signing of Brozovic, an amount that could be enough to convince Inter Milan to let the midfielder leave, who is not an undisputed starter.
At Camp Nou, there are other priorities for next season and the latest information coming from England points to a great offer to take Brozovic to the Premier League. This would also lead the 'culés' to only look for free players to reduce expenses.
Waiting to achieve 'Financial Fair Play,' Barcelona is not willing to pay so much money for the signing of Brozovic and could leave aside the option of the Croatian. In addition, the most likely option to occupy this sector is Ilkay Gündogan, who is ending his contract with Manchester City.
There were approaches with the player
During the last winter transfer window, there was speculation about a possible swap between Brozovic and Kessie, but Barcelona was not willing to add money to the operation as Inter wanted, and also had no intention of changing clubs after arriving at Camp Nou in the summer, so there was no agreement.
It should be noted that Kessié arrived at FC Barcelona in the summer transfer market as a free player. The African decided not to renew with Milan and it did not cost a single euro to President Laporta. For this reason, he was sought for this benefit.
