Newcastle are confident of landing Croatian international midfielder Marcelo Brozovic in the summer transfer window from Inter Milan.

Brozovic, 30, joined Inter in 2016 from his hometown club Dinamo Zagreb for $5.5m and was a vital part of the Nerazurri’s Serie A title-winning season in 2021, playing 33 league appearances.

If the Croat were to make a move to the North East of England, he would face stiff competition for a place in midfield at St James’ Park alongside players such as Joe Willock, Bruno Guimaraes, and fan-favorite Joelintion, who have helped steer the Magpies through an excellent Premier League campaign which currently sees them lie third.
