Inter CEO Beppe Marotta has outright rejected transfer market rumors of the respective exits of Marcelo Brozovic and Joaquin Correa. Both the players have been linked with a swap move to Barcelona, with ex-Milan midfielder Franck Kessie and Dutch forward Memphis Depay touted to move the other way round.
Marotta was intercepted by Mundo Deportivo (via FCInterNews) on the sidelines of Simone Inzaghi’s Supercoppa Italiana pre-match press conference at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh.
Xavi would like to sign Brozovic, but at the same time Barça are happy with Kessie, who is very happy at the club and is confident in his abilities to get more minutes at Barcelona.

He was quizzed by the journalist regarding his opinion of the market rumors surrounding the four players, which included the beloved Brozovic. Marotta however kept it short.
Intercepted by a journalist from on the sidelines of Simone Inzaghi’s pre-Italian Super Cup press conference, which took place this morning at the ‘King Fahd International Stadium’ in Riyadh, “There’s nothing at all,” he said, eliminating all doubts of transfer activity.
Franck Kessié’s future depends now on Barcelona. Discussions took place with intermediaries on a possible swap deal with Marcelo Brozović over last days, but it’s up to Barça and Xavi ??? #FCB
