Inter float Vertonghen-Brozovic swap

By Football Italia staff

Inter have reportedly asked Tottenham Hotspur for Jan Vertonghen and Marcelo Brozovic could go the other way.

Sky Sport Italia claim new Nerazzurri Coach Frank de Boer has requested Belgium international Vertonghen to reinforce his back line.

The 29-year-old is under contract until June 2018, but knows De Boer thanks to his time at Ajax.

It’s possible Brozovic could be offered as part of an exchange, though Spurs would need to add a cash sum on top of that, as the Croatia international is valued at €25m-€30m.

Brozovic wants to join Juventus, but Inter refuse to reinforce another Serie A rival and would much prefer to sell him abroad.

Sky Sport Italia suggest Tottenham are unconvinced, as they are not ready to let go of Vertonghen.

He had a series of injury problems over the last year and has been out all summer with an ankle ligament tear.
