The
22-year-old midfielder has left Dinamo Zagreb to join Roberto Mancini’s
side, who are struggling to keep pace with the Serie A leaders
following a run of just two wins in their last 11 league outings.
A
statement on Inter’s official website read: “Marcelo Brozovic is now an
Inter player. FC Internazionale is pleased to announce that the
22-year-old Croatian midfielder has joined on a two-year loan deal with a
conditional obligation to make the move permanent.”
Brozovic scored
14 goals in 102 appearances for Dinamo after joining from Lokomotiva in
August 2012. He has won seven caps for Croatia and was part of Niko
Kovac’s World Cup squad in Brazil last summer.
Brozovic told Dinamo’s
official website: “I’m happy and sad at once. Dinamo is my club and I
leave here many friends who I will miss, but on the other hand I am
happy because I go to a great team and a strong league where I’m waiting
for new challenges.
“Of course, Dinamo will always be my club, but so it is in football and I look forward to going to Italy.”
Zagreb
coach Zoran Mamic added: “Thanks to Marcel for everything he has done
for Dinamo in the name of the club and we personally wish him good luck
in his future career.
“Remember, Marcelo came to Dinamo from
Locomotives in the summer of 2012, and in two and a half years with the
blue team he has played in the Champions League group and the European
League and won two Croatian league titles.”Inter currently sit 10th in
Serie A and are level on points with city rivals AC Milan ahead of
Sunday’s clash at Sassuolo.
