Barcelona are watching Marcelo Brozovic's situation at Inter Milan.

Sport says Brozovic was close to joining Barcelona in the January transfer window as part of a swap deal with Franck Kessié, which did not come to fruition because the Ivory Coast international did not want to leave Camp Nou.

But the Catalan club continue to maintain contact with his camp, says Il Corriere dello Sport.

Brozovic is considered a complete player with great international experience. Barca management also view him as superior to Kessie.

Chelsea and Real Madrid are also reportedly interested in the midfielder should he choose to leave Inter.
