For more than a year, there was uncertainty about the future of Marcelo Brozović at Inter, and in the end, everything was resolved with a new contract.Today, Inter officially confirmed that they have extended their cooperation with the Croatian midfielder until July 2026. The negotiations were long and hard, but in the end, they are finalized with an agreement.Brozovic’s earnings will be doubled with the new contract – so far, he was earning 3.8 million USD net per season, and according to the new contract, he will collect 6.6 million USD net each season. Plus bonuses that could go up to an additional 1.1 million USD.03.04. Sun 22:45: (2.85) Juventus (3.25) Inter (2.70)At the beginning of the negotiations, the Croat asked for a salary of as much as 8.8 million USD net, with which he would become the highest-paid player in Inter’s dressing room. The current ‘record holder’ is Alexis Sanchez with a salary of 7.7 million USD, followed by Arturo Vidal (7.1 million), Ivan Perisic, Hakan Calhanoglu and Edin Dzeko (5.5 million each)… Inter initially offered a raise to 6 million USD including bonuses, but the two sides eventually modified their statements.🔔UFFICIALE 🔔Marcelo Brozovic ha rinnovato con l’Inter fino al 2⃣0⃣2⃣6⃣ ✍️ pic.twitter.com/16ixm1JKS5— GOAL Italia (@GoalItalia) March 23, 2022 Inter Milan realized how disastrous it would be to lose one of the key players for free, and the Croat still got a very good contract in the end, considering that he is 29 years old. He may have been richer in Newcastle because the English were willing to pay him around 8.8 million USD a year, but he stayed in the club that is fighting for trophies and in which he has a very important role.How irreplaceable Brozović is for Inter was also seen in the previous Nerazzurri matches. He missed three of the previous five games of the reigning Italian champions due to card suspensions and injury. Inter did not win in any of those three matches without him. They were defeated by Sassuolo and drew against Torino and Fiorentina. Only goalkeeper Handanović and stopper Skriniar have had more minutes than him in the previous part of the season.Thu 22:45: (1.23) Italy (6.50) North Macedonia (16.0)Of all the players whose contracts expire in the upcoming transfer window, Brozovic is surely the most important for Inter. It remains to be seen what fate awaits Handanović and Perišić, who also entered the last year of the contract. Inter Milan are ready to offer short-term contracts for one year to the mentioned two, and for now it does not seem that they will agree to that. The contracts are also expiring for Dambrosio, Kolarov, Ranocchia and Vecino, and they will most likely not be offered to stay at the club.
