Losing the Milan derby, Inter's advantage in the standings has become extremely weak, only one point ahead of Milan and Napoli in the context of one game less, and the pressure to compete for the title is still very large. In addition to the defeat on the field, Inter also had bad news in other aspects. At present, the contracts of Inter's two famous players, Brozovic and Perisic, are being hampered, the former facing Barca's poaching, and the latter wanting higher salaries, which makes Inter feel embarrassed.
The first is Brozovic, who has been Inter's main player in recent seasons. Brozovic has made 23 appearances in the league this season, second in the squad behind Handanovic in terms of playing time. Sources from italy's "Repubblica" pointed out that Inter coach Inzaghi Jr. has regarded Brozovic as the core of the team, which also reflects the importance of Brozovic.
However, Brozovic is facing a crisis of possible departure. La Liga giants Barca want to bring in the Croatian international. And B Ronaldo was offered a contract for 5 years with an annual salary of 8 million euros. The media also said that as early as last December, Inter offered B Ronaldo a contract extension of 6 million euros per year for a 4-year contract, but Brozovic did not agree. With the arrival of Barca's offer, Brozovic's future at Inter has become unknown.
Then there's Perisic. The Croatia international's contract extension has also encountered difficulties. Perisic wants a pay raise on the current basis, while Inter want Perisic to cut his salary.
This season, Perisic's statistics are still outstanding. He currently makes 21 league appearances, scoring 5 goals and 1 assist. The number of goals scored is second only to Lautaro (11 goals), Dzeko (9 goals) and Charkhaolu (6 goals).
Inter are understandably hoping for a pay cut for Perisic on top of his current annual salary (€5 million), after all, Perisic is 33 years old this year and it is naturally difficult for the club to ensure that such a veteran does not go downhill. The report pointed out that because the two sides disagree on the issue of annual salary, it is difficult to agree on the contract. Sources from the market said that Arsenal and Tottenham both want to bring in Perisic, especially Tottenham coach Conte, who believes that Perisic is still a good player.
Inter's presence on the pair tends to keep Brozovic, and Perisic is likely to leave the team this summer, after all, the latter has been loaned by Inter before. In addition, the news from the "Daily Sports" pointed out that The first choice for Barcelona led by Xavi in the summer is the defender line, and the news of the price for B Ronaldo needs to be further confirmed.
