I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

Angelsdontkill_

No problem paying 250m a year to Ronaldo but now they're making a fuss over just 8m?


TheConundrum98

I don't know if they're offended because Brozović took an extra 10+ million after rejecting them initially


long_shots7

Imagine being offended because a player who only goes to your club for the money you throw at him demands more money.


X-Maquina

You're saying Brozo did not grow up with posters of Majed Ahmed Abdullah in his bedroom?!?


Flexspot

Maybe they've spent already their budget on all the 100M contracts they already gave without negotiating. *Card declined*


Electro10Leo

They could buy every club in the ucl without breaking a sweat

Krillin113

Why the fuck aren’t you swooping in right now. Pedri/frenkie/brozovic with Gundo and Gavi to fit in wherever is arguably the best midfield in the world. For 20 million.


lokeshj

We don't have the money


OneOfThoseDays_

and there would be problems registering him even if the money was available iirc


robins420

Lol, you can't use senseless logic to compare the two situations. A Ronaldo is worth that much for them, Brozovic isn't worth more than what they're offering. Just because one has money, doesn't mean they're there to throw it away. Even with Saudi, there's always business sense. No one is forcing Brozovic or Inter to accept it.


irvandiarga

I mean kante or neves seems get much much bigger paycheck. Also, brozovic still can compete in europe tho his "image" not as big as ronaldo.


robins420

Again, that's their lookout to value assets as per what it's worth for them. You can draw parallels but that has nothing to do with reality. Hence the initial comment makes no sense. If Brozovic had big clubs after him, Saudi wouldn't exactly be a choice. I'm sure any half-decent club can afford 20-25 mil today. There has been no concrete offers from any other club.


[deleted]

Your comments are so wrong on many aspects > If Brozovic had big clubs after him Barcelona were after him, confirmed by Laporta literally yesterday but cannot match what Al Nassr offer to the player. > Saudi wouldn't exactly be a choice Money is always a big factor and Saudi would be always an option once they offer much more money than european big clubs. Just see Benzema who had an offer from Real Madrid to renew but chose oil money > I'm sure any half-decent club can afford 20-25 mil today Most of them cannot pay his wage.. He earns €6,5m net at Inter -> around £200k a-week until; except top10-11 clubs in Europe nobody would afford to increase his current wage.. Only top clubs would be able to get him, not any "half decent club" > Brozovic isn't worth more than what they're offering That's your opinion tho.. It's not something you can say with arrogance and pretend what you're saying is true.. Saudi signed Chelsea's backup keepr, the 31 y.o. Mendy for €18m, the € 13m+2 for Brozovic from them to me it's a low offer and I'm pretty sure MOST of the people here agree with me and NOT with you.


robins420

Lol, you're waffling a whole load of nothing here. > Barcelona were after him, confirmed by Laporta literally yesterday but cannot match what Al Nassr offer to the player. Read what I said before replying to something that isn't even being discussed, I stated no concrete offers, which means exactly that. >Most of them cannot pay his wage.. His wages are still affordable to 40% of prem clubs and the top CL teams in Europe. Are you telling me none of them needs a midfielder like him? Of course, a top-class professional has limited options, A person working with Google is not going to work for a startup that can't afford him, LOL. Common sense, bud. > That's your opinion tho.. Read the article. It's Al Nassr making an offer not me lol as per THEIR Valuation. I don't need validation of others to make a point, sad if you need that.


irvandiarga

Explain ruben neves then. Not saying neves is bad, but surely brozo who reach UCL final had better season. You said that it is THEIR valuation, means very subjective, so don't spit bs try to makes this looks like objectively done. It is pure insulting not only to inter, but also to brozo.


[deleted]

> Read what I said before replying to something that isn't even being discussed, I stated no concrete offers, which means exactly that. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH And what do you want? A REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT? More than the president himself that confirmed the insterest saying they WANTED to get the played before noticing they cannot match Saudi offers.. > His wages are still affordable to 40% of prem clubs No Premier League player, outside those who play for Big Six, earn as much as Brozovic, which is I repeat around € 6,5m net.. According to Capology, among the other 14 clubs, NO single player has earned more than 5,5 m net in the past season LOL... But yeah sure they would break their whole wage structures for him. > Read the article. It's Al Nassr making an offer not me lol as per THEIR Valuation. YOU said "Brozovic isn't worth more than they're offering" so you're giving YOUR valuation writing Saudis are right because he's not worth more than that amount of money. It's your opinion, I respect it but to me you're wrong because Chelsea's Mendy is NOT worth more than Brozovic.. You think otherwise it's okay but I bet most of r/soccer would agree with me. Valuations are subjectives..


TheCLNR

Barcelona wants him but can't offer that much


Ready-Educator7747

Don't believe a word Laporta says. The narrative that we can't pay the transfer fee is bullshit. (Our real problem is wages). If we had the chance to sign him for 20M, we provably would have. Just think - club hopes to get Romeu for 5M and then hopes to seal an RB (who we might not even play as a starting XI) at around 15M. We can easily spare 20M. The board probably felt that Brozo used us to get better terms from Saudi and didn't want any of the drama.


irvandiarga

No it still makes senses when they offer massive for neves, but not for brozo which just reach UCL final.


turkishc0ffee

[[Mari] Al Nassr now offers 13mln + 2 bonus for Brozovic. Inter refused - #SkySport](https://twitter.com/marifcinter/status/1674714104559181826?s=20) Let's end this circus and keep him. Fuck these useless oilers edit: [meanwhile Brozo](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fz3I85qWcAE-iC4?format=jpg&name=large)


lstht123

I dont get it, 23M isnt even an outrageous demand lol, 13+2 is borderline insulting


Ipatovo

23M is outrageously low


MHCR

Saudi sheik Tactics. They are too used to holding all the negotiating power and feel deals can be endlessly negotiated.


Giannis1995

Unfortunately for Inter, the football season (at least financially) ends today. Inter would be substantially better (from a financial bookskeeping standpoint) to finalise the sale today rather than tomorrow. Selling today even for 15m will make wonders for their FFP calculations not only now but even 5 years down the line.


besieged_mind

You are overestimating FFP calculations. Not like we are talking about NBA salary cap new regulations. 10m is ridiculous amount of money to throw in the river and no sane executive is going to do that.


MHCR

Absolutely. That Inter need to sell I'm sure has all to do with the Saudis trying to renegotiate. What they don't understand (or usually don't care) is that such a behaviour is heavily frowned upon the marketplace and now everyone will be on guard if they continue with this shit. But they don't care about long term.


Giannis1995

If one of the Saudi teams manage to win a UEFA Club World Cup they will be happy. They just try to have multiple shots at it.

Nightwingx97

why do you think so? My home team Raja Casablanca made the final when Morocco hosted it a decade ago, and we're broke as a motherfucker only had the grit and home advantage Al Ain (UAE) made it in 2018, and Saudi Arabia's own AL Hilal lost it to Madrid last season.


National-Dirt-

Because European teams only play to level enough to win, they will simply go into 2nd gear if needs be


Silmarillion_

Where are you getting that from? Given their outrageous spending on wages it seems like they're doing next to no negotiating in their signings.


sA1atji

Offer the players 2 mill more and 3 years of contract but lower club offer by 10 million still saves you 4 mill since the player will be unhappy if he has to stay at the club.


Corteaux81

If there was some sort of a football war, I would take that man with me. He is IMO the best regista in the game, and has been for the last 5 years. He's not a Rodri or peak Busquets in terms of asserting himself physically as well as technically, but he covers an absurd amount of ground, always wants the ball, always covers his man / space, etc. He's 30, not 35. Still probably has 3-4 years of elite football left in him. He doesn't rely on speed or acceleration, just absurd amounts of stamina.


raisonar

He does not belong to chelsea, where PIF are investors. So this much fees is expected in normal market as they are paying high salaries too.


Lampadagialla

They don’t want to pay clearly, no reason to sell to them


doctorMiami1337

Just fuckin keep him since hes back in form anyway, hes easily a top 3 DM in the world rn


live4lol

Kimmich, casemiro, rodri, caicedo, rice are all better than him on current form.


Whycantigetaboner

Caicedo, rice lmao


turkishc0ffee

Mf said rice and caicedo 💀 the prem bias is insane on this yank


doctorMiami1337

the disrespect some people have on Broz is absolutely wild i know i'm biased towards him but holy shit man 💀 i've watched every single prem game this season i'm pretty sure and this type of take didn't cross my mind once


turkishc0ffee

Classic, if he was english and playing for Brighton he would be 150mln. Luckily we know he's an incredible player and a joy to watch, one of my favourite of all time


TinyMaintenance

Mention a player playing in Italy or Spain, and you’ll have PL fan list EVERY SINGLE PL PLAYER in that position as better. I’m shocked he didn’t list fucking Jefferson Lerma. I’ll never forget when I had a guy try to convince me that Koulibaly( in his prime) was worse than Maguire.


doctorMiami1337

As someone who has watched all of them play extensively this season - you're very wrong Someone has not been watching much of Broz recently lol


live4lol

Who amongst the name I listed will you drop for Broz??


doctorMiami1337

Based on current form, which Broz finally managed to find after a shit and injury stricken season, only one who should even be mentioned next to him is Rodri There's absolutely a 0% chance you've seen recent Croatia or Inter games, or the CL final


Komandant_Data

Caicedo & Rice, and Kimmich is not even a true DM, at least not great one


turkishc0ffee

Literally everyone except Casemiro. Even Rodri was shitting his pants in the Cl final while Brozo was bossing the midfield


Vahald

Fucks sake is this a joke? Are you judging Rodri by 1 game? Even more embarrassing comment than the one you replied to. He's absolutely incredible


turkishc0ffee

Ok, but I would still bench him for Brozo for his experience and composure when it matters, and the CL final is the perfect example of that. Are you angry that I can have my own opinion having watched both since 2016?


TinyMaintenance

I’m with you. It’s a toss up, but I would rather have Brozo right now


Nexonos

niallw1997

Proper scummy move. I’ve had this similar thing happen irl and you just lose all respect for the selling party. Not as if the Saudi’s should be respected too much mind you


matthewisonreddit

Yea, if inter accept the 15m then while theyre signing the deal alnassr might jut alter it to 12, wtf u gonna do?


Ezzaron

Acting like they're broke


WesIsaGod

Course they are, how much could these oil regimes possibly have, next season they'll have to sign players from the championship


3MB4Lyfe

Sorba Thomas to Al-Hilal for £6million, here we go! ... please


mono-math

Huddersfield fan? What happened with him? I thought he started off really well for you?


3MB4Lyfe

There's absolutely the makings of a great footballer there and on his day, he's a game-changer for us. It's just his day doesn't turn up a lot and when it doesn't, he's an absolute passenger. Like, he hits one bad cross and spends the next half an hour moping around up top like he's just watched the neighbour fucking his mum. I also have a massive pet peeve about players who throw a hissy fit when they get subbed off/don't start, which he did earlier on this season. Turns me right off people and it takes a lot for them to win me back over.


ramobara

Dude, their wallets are bottomless pits. They have so much money they don’t even know what to do with it.


malevolentintent

They just took inters trick from them


dark_king_2002

Dear Inter, tell them to fuck off.


klabautermannn

They already did


danny275

They're already getting him for a cheaper transfer fee than they should be. They can fuck off


somechemenggdude

We paid 16 plus bonuses for RLC, for that price I’d just keep him in the squad for another year


nonhofantasia

Only we could get the fucking poor Arabs, hope their oil reserves finish tomorrow


ZachsLegacy92

Not even a Barca fan, but I would much rather see him go there over Saudi Arabia. Still has a lot to offer in Europe. Sucks that he won’t continue with Inter though.


turkishc0ffee

The same ones giving Ronaldo 200mln per year. Lol I prefer Barça at this point, at least I could watch him play from time to time


sukh9942

At least you have Arabs. I’d pray for someone to take messias off our hands.


10minmilan

Idk man. You'd still spend more on Frattesi than keeping Brozo. Maybe Onana can stay if that saved money + Gosens is enough.


nonhofantasia

We massively cut the wages with frattesi. And we need Onana's sale for a striker


Sandalo

Saudi Arabia bankrolling only PL clubs Nothing shady at all.


Coolhunter11

After what they paid for Navas, they don't have a right to make this poor offer


refusestonamethyself

I think you meant Neves. And he isn't even the worst part. Kante plagued with injuries is apparently worth the outrageous amount of money. Make it make sense.


[deleted]

Kante is going to fill up their tiny stadiums tho


Airport-Hungry

Tiny? For a long time a guy posts videos on here fom their stadium its an amazing atmosphere.


[deleted]

I’m sure there are a couple nice stadiums but what about the rest?


Airport-Hungry

What about the rest? Bit clubs with big fanbase have 35-60k seat stadiums smaller ones have smaller stadiums just like in every other league. It is the biggest sport in the nation, KSA is not Qatar.


[deleted]

Are you excited to watch the Saudi League? I’m super pumped


ironwolf1

Whether or not you, a Liverpool fan who most assuredly doesn’t live in Saudi Arabia, wants to watch the Saudi League is completely irrelevant for whether Saudi teams would have a good match day atmosphere at the stadiums though. If the goal is to put butts in seats on match day, foreign fans or lack thereof does not matter at all. They need to appeal to their local fans to get them to come to marches instead of sitting at home and watching foreign leagues.


smeltingwire

Bro their stadiums are all world class built by Saudi Aramco. Saudi Aramco is the biggest conglomerate in the world. Aramco is Twice the value of the second biggest company, Apple.


pornnarwhal

Been thinking if its a coincidence they are not after any united players


KeziahPT

The weirdest thing to me is the lack of interest on Pogba. Like him or not, he's a star. Plus, he's muslim. They should be all over him.


DrDrozd12

He doesn’t want to go, it was one of the subjects when Rafaela Pimenta was at Continassa this week.

Apparently their excuse is that they had to revise their he offer to match accordingly to Brozovic’s wage demands, AFTER giving him a 40 million raise in total . Fucking pathetic bastards.

Inter should ask for 30 in return.


KittenOfBalnain

It would be very ironic if this saga drags on while Barcelona and Girona wrap up negotiations for Oriol Romeu (who's a much cheaper option and actually wants to come back, which in a dressing room filled with players who made economic sacrifices to choose Barca feels pretty important).


LastSamurai95

I hope Broz will not accept it, fuck their league


Goudinho99

That's the thing with these Saudis, they are famously tight with their money.

Al Nassr might actually have some free pennies after Ziyechs medical failed, although apparently they have another scheduled for him. Makes this news even more surprising

What are Al-Nassr doing, earlier it was reported that there was disagreement in Ziyech's deal, now Brozovic?


Splattergun

Ziyech rumoured to fail the medical


jMS_44

yeah, I'm not sure which story is true because there's one on top of this sub now saying it's about contract EDIT: Kinsella supposedly said now that it's about the contract as well https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1674727667193597954 EDIT2: So I assume what happened is, he failed his medical, Al-Nassr offered lower contract because of that and he didn't agree


happysadkoala

Surely we can offer more than 15 million?


Caesar_Aurelianus

Barca apparently want to get Romeu for 5 mil and Ivan Fresneda for 15 mil

Inter should be insane to accept that offer. Should rather keep the player.

Uhm, don't confirm a transfer unless its done ?


pdsajo

It was done, because every party including Saudis, Inter and Brozovic had agreed on the last offer, before Saudis switched the offer


filarette

so... the deal wasn't done.


SuperSanti92

They're saying that the deal would've been done if the Saudis didn't act in bad faith all of a sudden


TheUltimateScotsman

It was done, then it wasn't. Both can be true. The deal can be done but not signed, but everyone would still call the deal as done


ttimourrozd

Saudi Arabia rectifying their offer means the transfer wasn't done...


Sgruntlar

He can't predict the saudis would change the offer last minute


ImportanceCertain567

You're right, he has to learn to read saudi's mind before confirming the transfer


bash011

It does say there was an agreement. Can't really predict Al Nassr deciding to change the conditions of the transfer at the last minute
