Brozovic-Kessie swap deal off; Barca want Croat on loan

The Catalan side are hoping to invest the money they got from Atletico Madrid for Depay into another signing. The Spanish giants think that, taking into account the 'Financial Fair Play' rules, they will have around €3.8 million to spend if La Liga give the 'OK'.

On their wish-list is Brozovic. Xavi really likes the player, which is why the club are working for him to pack his bags and leave Inter.

Despite it appearing complicated, Barcelone are not going to throw in the towel. Inter need €50 million for their books to be balanced, but the Catalan side do not want to just get the Croat in for any fee.

The swap deal between Brozovic and Kessie is seeming further and further away from reality. Barca have opted to change strategies to see if that smoothens their path to the Inter man, according to 'Mundo Deportivo'.

According to the Catalan newspaper, Barcelona are considering asking Inter if they can get Brozovic on loan with an option-to-buy in June. They are hoping that, with this, together with Skriniar and Dumfries' possible departures, which would fill Inter's pockets quite nicely, it will be enough to convince the Milan side.
