According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter Milan want Angelo Ogbonna from West Ham and they could use Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic as a makeweight to make a deal possible.
Inter have been interested in many Premier League centre backs this summer, with Arsenal’s Shkodran Mustafi and Manchester City’s Eliaquim Mangala being heavily linked with a move to the San Siro. Now, West Ham’s Ogbonna has been linked with a move.
Although Ogbonna doesn’t want to leave and there have been no reports of West Ham wanting to sell the Italian, Inter really want a centre back, meaning they could sacrifice one of their midfielders to sign him.
Borja Valero recently joined Inter, meaning Brozovic may not get as much game-time as he wants this season.
Ogbonna joined West Ham from Inter Milan’s title rivals, Juventus, in 2015 for £9m, scoring one goal for The Hammers, which came in the dying embers of their FA Cup tie replay at home to Liverpool in extra-time.
The 29-year-old spent the last half of last season on the sidelines with a knee injury, which he played through for West Ham in the first half of the season, before the club signed Jose Fonte in January.
