A Serie A star is beginning to look around Europe – including Liverpool – at transfer options, while Sergio Aguero is a wanted man in Paris – both in all the latest Euro Paper Talk.

LIVERPOOL TRANSFER OPTION FOR BROZOVIC

Inter and Croatia midfielder Marcelo Brozovic is increasingly having to look at other options amid struggles to extend his contract, according to a report.

The 28-year-old has proved a fantastic signing for the Nerazzurri following his move from Dinamo Zagreb in 2016. In that time, he has racked up 252 appearances, contributing directly to 59 goals.

What’s more, he has proved crucial to all three managers who have had him in their ranks since he signed. However, he has entered the final year of his contract and his future is becoming increasingly uncertain.

Brozovic wants to renew at Inter and stay in the Italian capital.

But while club chiefs are only willing to offer him up to €4.5million (£3.8million) per season, Calciomercato reports that his father – also his agent – has pointed to the fact that Inter offered Hakan Calhanoglu €6million (£5million).

The report adds that Inter’s ‘delicate’ financial situation has made the negotiations tougher – more so than expected.

As a result, Brozovic and his father are now increasingly beginning to look at some of the other interested parties from across Europe.

Liverpool’s interest initially emerged in August and they have supposedly offered a €6million-per-season contract.

Manchester United, Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are also reportedly keeping tabs on his situation.

According to Calciomercato, Brozovic has been offered to Barcelona, potentially in a bid to unblock the contract talks with Inter one way or the other.
