When Sergio Busquets made the decision to leave with Barcelona and open a new chapter in his career in his late playing days, Xavi was unequivocal when talking to the club’s associates – he needs a top midfielder. Recruiting players with ‘big lungs’ became a priority in the transfer window, and at Nou Camp they devised a plan to win the battle with Arab rumors and investment funds for Marcelo Brozovic.Barcelona intended to include Franck Kessie in the deal, to bring him back to the Apennines, however, the plans quickly fell apart. The Catalan club can forget about the Croatian national team player, and there are two reasons: the midfielder from the Ivory Coast does not intend to be part of the “trade exchange” and does not want to return to Italy; Al Nassr increased the offer, Inter accepted without any thought and now they are just waiting for the answer of the World Cup silver and bronze winner with Croatia.##NAJAVA_MECA_7336529##At Nou Camp, they were ready to rush the Arabs and keep Marcelo Brozović in Europe, thus preventing the outflow of another famous name to the Middle East. But it’s a long way between an idea and realization, and the Spanish champion really hasn’t progressed far. They got stuck at the first hurdle.The financial situation is suffocating the Blaugrana, preventing them from spending freely and dictating them to spend every euro carefully. During the winter market, they proposed to Franck Kessie to return to Italy, but this time to join the Nerazzurri, and to go in the opposite direction for the Croatian midfielder. Sporting director Piero Ausilio liked that option, however, the African footballer stopped everything despite not having the playing minutes he had hoped for.Gambian-born Senegalese leaves Yellow Submarine to pursue his EPL career with ChelseaFor Kessie, returning to Serie A is not an option, Mundo Deportivo writes that the player is fed up and that nine years at the Boot was enough for him. The only thing he would accept, if he even thought about leaving Barcelona, is a move to the Premier League. Because, in the opinion of the African, other European championships are not at the level of the two elite ones in which he played.The Catalans can start thinking about other possibilities and file the plan in a drawer. That small chance that Marcelo Brozovic would stay in Europe and not follow Cristiano Ronaldo was lost in an instant. Inter’s Chinese owners are contentedly rubbing their hands and expecting an influx of 22,000,000 euros, and practically everything can be ruined only by the Croatian midfielder if he gets angry and refuses such a lucrative offer.
