# Inter Milan could use Brozovic as makeweight for Ogbonna

According to [Gianluca Di Marzio](https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/inter-proposed-swap-with-west-ham-for-brozovic-ogbonna-the-situation), 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.
