Tottenham to rival Chelsea for £43m midfielder: Agent confirms interest
TOTTENHAM have entered the race to sign in-demand Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, according to reports in Italy.
Marcelo Brozovic reportedly has a £43million release clause
Marcelo Brozovic has been linked with a move away from Inter Milan in recent months.
Chelsea are said to be chasing the midfielder and reportedly tried to sign him in January.
However, fresh reports from Italy claim Tottenham have now joined the race to sign the 24-year-old, along with Monaco.

Website TuttoMercatoWeb claims Spurs and the Ligue 1 giants are both keen to sign the Croatia international in the summer.
Brozovic's agent Miroslav Bicanic has confirmed this week there is a lot of interest in his client.
However, any club will have to match his £43million release clause.
"It’s true, there’s talk about it again like there was last summer," Bicanic said.
"These rumours have no effect on Marcelo though, right now he’s completely focused on Inter.
"There’s a €50m (£43m) release clause in his contract, and if another club comes to the Nerazzurri with that money then Inter have no right to make a counter-offer."
