Brozovic's agent blamed Barca for 'inventing' Kessie swap deal

Barcelona were present in the January transfer window with possible deals despite not being able to sign due to financial problems.

A swap deal between Inter Milan and Barcelona for Marcelo Brozovic and Franck Kessie was one of the possible moves. The Ivorian does not get much playing time at Xavi's side and the Croatian could reinforce the midfield.

However, Brozovic's agent denied the rumour on 'Sky Sports' and blamed the Spanish team for inventing it: "I know that Barcelona want to sell Kessie and that his name is on the transfer window but I don't know anything about the swap deal.

"There has been no contact with Inter or Brozovic. Teams always invent negotiations when they have a player to spare."
