Barcelona and Inter Milan have reportedly discussed a swap deal for Marcelo Brozovic and Franck Kessie, with a summer move on the cards.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Franck Kessie is a priority target for Inter Milan, while Barcelona will look to sign Marcelo Brozovic in the summer transfer window. And the Catalan giants have discussed a swap deal involving the two players with the Serie A heavyweights.
Marcelo Brozovic has been one of the best midfielders in Serie A since joining Inter Milan from Dinamo Zagreb. The Croat has been a dependable performer for the Nerazzurri while rising in stature on the international level. And he has made over 300 appearances for the Serie A giants, chipping in with 30 goals and 37 assists.
On the other hand, Franck Kessie has endured a miserable 2022/23 campaign since joining Barcelona. The Ivory Coast international seemed to have completed a dream move to Camp Nou. But he is now living a nightmare, with Xavi Hernandez utilising him as a backup to Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, and Sergio Busquets.
The 26-year-old thus faces an uncertain future at FC Barcelona, with several top clubs keen on signing him. But Kessie’s long-term future might be at Inter Milan, with the Serie A heavyweights keen on securing his services this summer.
The 26-year-old is a priority target for Inter Milan. And it is hardly surprising, considering Henrikh Mkhitaryan is on the wrong side of 30. In addition, Brozovic faces an uncertain future at Camp Nou, thus making Kessie a viable target. And a swap deal involving the two players might be on the horizon.
The 30-year-old is a top target for Barcelona. And the Catalan giants have discussed a swap deal with the Serie A heavyweights for Kessie and Brozovic. But it is unclear if the Nerazzurri will be open to such an arrangement in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Kessie does not want to leave Barcelona, which might complicate matters. In addition, joining Inter Milan will be a complicated move, considering his rich history with AC Milan. So it will be interesting to see if a swap deal sees the light of day.
