Brozovic's long transfer saga

Initially, Inter had accepted a bid of €23 million, but midfielder Marcelo Brozovic declined to sign a contract worth €20 million per year, insisting on €30 million annually, per Football Italia.

In response, Al-Nassr stepped in and presented an offer of €100 million over three years, exceeding the player's demands.

However, they reduced their offer to Inter to €15 million, which left the Nerazzurri displeased. Last week, Al-Nassr increased their bid to €18 million, finally receiving approval from Inter.
