According to reports from Calcio Mercato, Inter Milan may be willing to part with Arsenal and Chelsea target Marcelo Brozovic for slightly less than the €20million valuation previously reported.
The 23-year-old was on Arsenal’s radar last season but the north London club were beaten to his signature by the Nerazzurri, who signed Brozovic from Dynamo Zagreb on an 18-month loan deal in January 2015 with a €8million option to buy.

The Croatian international’s impressive form this season, claiming two goals in his last four Serie A appearances and even earning his own Twitter hashtag, #EpicBrozo, has seen the Gunners revive their interest – albeit this time joined by Premier League rivals Chelsea in the race for the midfielder’s signature.
It was previously reported that signing Brozovic in January would require a €20million package to convince Inter to waive their option to buy, but Calcio Mercato claim the San Siro outfit may be willing to part with the 14-cap international for slightly less – around €16million instead.
That may not seem like much, but every penny counts. And in terms of pound sterling, that moves Brozovic’s price-tag from £14.5million to around £11.5million.
