Atletico Madrid looking to land Inter midfielder

Taking advantage of their stay in Milan, Atletico Madrid directors held talks with their Inter counterparts regarding a move for Marcelo Brozovic.
The Nerazzurri look resigned to the fact that one or two big name players will have to be sold this summer, and it appears the Croatian could be on his way out.
Atletico are in Italy for their battle with Real Madrid in Saturday’s Champions League final, though it appears they also made time to discuss a potential transfer for Brozovic.
Miguel Angel Gil is said to have met with Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio on Friday, with the Croatian midfielder the main topic of discussion.
The news comes just a week after Brozovic’s agent made it clear that his client would happily stay at Inter, but only if his contract is improved.
''Marco is torn because he is happy in Milan and at Inter, but he wants to play in the Champions League,” Miroslav Bicanic told reporters.
''My opinion is that he would stay at Inter if they offered him the contract he deserves which shows he is one of the best players on the team.”
However, it appears the Nerazzurri aren’t keen on offering that contract, with Atletico Madrid now a possible destination for Brozovic this summer.

"He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
