it reopens, the offer to Inter has been raised. Azpilicueta goes to Atletico-Corriere.it

A roller coaster day for Inter: Brozovic first gets complicated and then, in the evening, it reopens. Azpilicueta, on the other hand, jumps without the possibility of appeal. Contrasting moods depending on the moment.

Brozovic, at one point, seemed like an impossible operation. When the negotiation seemed to have unblocked with the willingness of the Arab delegation to satisfy the requests of the Milanese, he returned to the starting point. The one hundred million secured by Al Nassr over three years did not help propitiate the expected white smoke. After all, it had seemed strange that in the evening of Thursday the Nerazzurri executives, despite the widespread optimism, waited for the documents officers to sign. The medical visits scheduled in Zara suggested a successful outcome of the operation. Until yesterday morning Brozovic posted a photo from the beach on social media and at that moment it was understood that more than one hitch was slowing down not only the sale of the director to the Saudis but the Inter market itself.

What problems arose? Al Nassr, having raised the economic offer to the player, has reduced the amount allocated to Inter. That is to say no longer 23 million as initially agreed but 13 plus two bonuses. Not only. To make the relations between the managers of Inter and Brozovic intervened the latter’s request for a severance pay. A claim that sounded like a provocation. Obviously returned to the sender.

In the evening the picture changed again. There are signs of a reopening, even if at Inter they maintain an understandable prudence. The leaders of Al Nassr would have said they were willing to raise the offer up to 18 million. The player would waive the severance pay. The next few hours will be decisive. The side effect the failed thrust of Marotta with Sassuolo on Frattesi
: the CEO of Inter had planned to close the operation in Rimini yesterday evening with the CEO of the Emilians Giovanni Carnevali. Giovanni knows how to juggle and always increases the price said Marotta at the opening ceremony of the market. Who knows if the proceeds to finance the market (the return of Lukaku in primis) will come from the sale of Onana: from today every day is good for the official Manchester United offer. There is also a bitter taste for Azpilicueta’s turnaround who chose Atletico Madrid for family reasons.
