Newcastle United are reportedly willing to meet Inter Milan's asking price for midfielder Marcelo Brozovic.

Newcastle United are readying a summer bid for Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic.

After thrashing Tottenham Hotspur 6-1 on Sunday, the Magpies moved one step closer to securing Champions League qualification.

With seven matches left to play, Newcastle are sitting in third position with a five-point cushion over fifth-placed Aston Villa, who have played two games more.

Newcastle have already begun plans for the 2023-24 campaign as they look to build a squad that can compete domestically as well as on the European stage.

The Magpies are keen to strengthen in midfield, and they have identified Brozovic as a potential transfer target.

According to Calciomercato, Newcastle are willing to meet Inter's asking price of £31m to secure Brozovic's signature.

Brozovic would occupy a deep-lying position in the Newcastle midfield, which could allow Bruno Guimaraes to move further forward.

The 30-year-old would also offer Newcastle plenty of Champions League experience, having made 37 appearances in the competition.

The Croatia international has a contract until June 2026, but Inter are looking to generate funds this summer to improve their financial situation.

Newcastle could face competition for the Inter man, who has previously attracted interest from La Liga leaders Barcelona and Premier League giants Liverpool.

Brozovic has spent seven years with the Nerazzurri, scoring 30 goals and providing 38 assists in 318 competitive appearances.

The Magpies continue to be linked with a number of other midfield targets, including James Maddison, Scott McTominay and Declan Rice.

After winning six of their last seven games, Newcastle will be hoping to continue their fine run of form when they travel to Goodison Park to face Everton on Thursday.
