Most of your arguments have been debunked but you are acting like we are the crazy ones lol
What arguments have been debunked? The 40m.clause was 50m but that's about it? This guy sepcifically negotiated release clauses into his contract at Inter.. sure maybe in the last few years if someone meets it he would have rejected, but five years ago? When we weren't even in the CL? No one wants this guy. I'm not sure why but even now, if you think he's so good, why is it only a broke Barca and Saudi chasing him? United desperately need a midfield - no interest from them. Chelsea probably would happily take a good midfielder once they clear out some players - no bid. Bayern? PSG? Not a single big club are after this so called bargain GOAT.. except the broke one that could.pluscalenza the fuck out of him


Anyway, this topic is tedious now. Lets see how it ends. Not with a 40m transfer to a big club though, I'm sure :)

Try to understand, the clause is not something you need to activate if someone is interested in you. You can still say no and Brozovic has been doing that.

So he was at his prime when we weren't in CL?

No, he was at his prime while we were in the CL as well, clearly, but he also contributed Croatia to the WC 2nd place, you dont think if someone wanted him, they could have signed him then?

Prove it? That's pure conjecture. In recnt years, when we're winning the scudetto, I can believe it, but when, allegedly, premier league clubs came along and Inter werent even in the CL, I dont buy it for a second. Only fucking player in the last 20 years to SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATE A RELEASE CLAUSE, lmfao [wait, there was Icardi and Lautaro as well - 110m for Icardi, 111m for Lautaro - but that further backs up my point. Icardi wanted to have a price where Inter couldnt refuse to keep him]. I cant think of any other times we've ever included one in a player contract. Inter was a stepping stone for him. Just no bigger rock showed up.

Far more likely, someone who has a reputation for being a bit of an idiot, who smokes heavily off the pitch, probably didnt get as much demand as the fans think? 2018 when Croatia came 2nd in the world cup, the season (17-18) we werent even in the CL, he was playing alongside Vecino, Nainggolan, Gagliardini and Joao Mario - you really think he's turning down the chance to join Mourinho led (for example) Man Utd, with Pogba, Lukaku, De Gea, after they came 2nd in the Premiership?


Cmon, have some pessimism. There's a reason why only Barca and Saudi want this 30 year old midfielder. I think he's really good for Inter, but he's never had a big move properly on the cards - if loyalty was such a big thing he wouldnt be considering the move now, would he? It just makes 0 logic whatsoever.



But, sure, we can just continue to delude ourselves, we have some amazing appreciation of a guy who has played all of the biggest matches in world football but no one else seems to want to desire


Anyway, thats my last post on this topic.

Interests from clubs don't exactly dictate the intrinsic value of the player providing on the field imho, they merely determine the potential sold price.
I don't think Brozo provide less than Kovačić; if I remember correctly Cambiasso, Pirlo@Bbilan, Gattuso, Motta, Sneijder, Stankovic etc. they don't generate a lot of interests outside of Italy or "big clubs".
I personally think the attributes foreign clubs look for in a midfield is very different from a Serie A club, also core modest players of a club also generally get less attention, like Élber, Lamn, Thomas Linke etc. (Probably shouldn't use Muller & Ze Roberto)

Obviously the top out of top players will be wanted anywhere, like Ronaldo, Adriano etc. but back to the point is certain player would be more popular in certain environment.

All in all, I don't think it is a good proof to say Brozo is not a good player.

I've never said Broz was not a good player. Just not one desired outside of Serie A by other big clubs. Which obviously also impacts the value a club is willing to pay for him! If you dont think he has attributes to fit La Liga, or Premiership, then no one is paying Premiership or La Liga rates for him

Anyway, apols, this one truly is my last post on the topic.

Lol so which one is it? Your whole arguement hinged on the fact that "Noone wanted to buy him for 40 50m at his prime". Now that weve established that you got all your timeline all mixed up you moved to your goal post that why didn't anyone want him after a good WC. Not to mention your ridiculous statement that he didn't leave the club so noone was interested in him.

Anyway, apols, this one truly is my last post on the topic.
I would too if I kept moving my goalposts and proven wrong.

Di Marzio said they are waiting for Brozovic's ok and then the Saudis will relaunch.

Lets hope Frattesi is in Milan by then and nothing happens here... or is the plan to sell Brozo and buy Koopmeiners now?

Brozovic has solid 3-4 years at top football still.

Neves is younger but he's not at Brozovic level ffs. :lol: How the fuck he costs double then. We could easily ask 40-50m and I can't see Saudis walking home then. If it's fine to Brozovic to go there, then at least fight back a bit. Saudis is the easiest way to make money, they want a world class player from us. Can't see why aren't we asking a proper fee.

Reportedly they offered 80-100m to get Verratti. Yes, just a rumor but still. These other players have higher valuations and they are shit compared to Brozo.
I am big fan of Brozo. He is excellent player. I will keep him. He is fenomen. He smokes, drink... but still run like no one other player.

Di marzio said theres no updates on Brozovic.

Looks like Frattesi will end up at Milan and Brozo will stay, which is the best thing.
Yea, I'm ok with missing out on Frattesi if we got to keep our mid intact. GK and Mid were the least of our concern so we should leave those positions alone. Go concentrate getting a proper striker who won't head the ball directly to goalie.

maybe because Wolv don't need money as much as we do (and the fact our financial situation and target player cost already known because of the media doesn't help) and the Saudis want to help their team on PL by loaning Neves back so that said team don't have to spend some money?

It just feels like selling Brozovic to replace him with Koop or Frattesi is doing a lot of work for little reward. Our midfield is already one of if not the best in Italy.

At this point, we really need to keep this guy. Not that I ever wanted him sold, but if Milan get Frattesi and Juventus get SMS (a real possibility), we need to make sure we don't end up with egg on our face and lose Brozo.

I do like Koopmeiners as a player - but again, we should be adding a midfielder to our team without losing one of our most valuable ones, in an ideal world.

How much will they pay him? Part of me thinks Brozo actually wants this deal to happen for the last payout before he retires, we can't be that dumb to let him go for 20 million otherwise

in Italy might be, but we need more income from UCL so we need a new LCM since Hakan and Brozo will not be great together. Mikhi is old and I don't know if Asllani could start as LCM.
I just hope we don't do Skriniar to Brozo. It will be just like 2011/2012 again when we lost the value of our treble winner.

According to Sky, if Inter fail to sign Frattesi Brozovic could stay
Should be the other way round. No one pays much for Brozovic then Inter fails to sign Frattesi.

As if we have money for Frattesi in the first place :lol:

I mean if Brozovic wants to cash in-- fair play to him, but I don't see this as a "last big contract before retiring scenario." The guy is 31 with near inexplicable stamina. He can still play at the top level for a while yet. What is he going to do? Retire at 34 and hang around Epic Brozo cafe and bar playing darts and eating salame?
