Newcastle United are prepared to cough up serious money for Marcelo Brozovic.

The Croatian midfielder is heading into the final six months of his deal with Inter Milan.

The Athletichas reported that Newcastle are willing to pay Brozovic 'crazy money' to join them.

However, in bad news for Toon supporters, the 28-year-old does not want to join a club threatened with relegation.

The Magpies, now led by Eddie Howe, have not won a game all season and sit six points from safety.
