MEGA RICH Newcastle bosses are reportedly ready to open their wallets and offer “crazy money” to convince Marcelo Brozovic to join the club.
The 29-year-old Inter midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and is also a goal for Manchester United.

The Red Devils are crying out for a new face to bolster a heavily criticized midfield while the Magpies keep an eye out for a complete overhaul of the roster.
And the Tynesiders are ready to offer delicious numbers to win the Croatian international if negotiations can begin on January 1st, according to The Athletic.
But with Newcastle hasn’t won a league game this season and is currently rooted at the bottom of the table, Brozovic is unlikely to be ready to agree on terms in January.
SunSport exclusively announced earlier this month that Brozovic was targeted as a signing of a statement by Toon bosses this summer.
And it is believed that the first contact about a deal has already been made with his entourage.
Elsewhere, it is rumored that Antonio Conte is keen to reunite with his former player at Tottenham.

Brozovic helped Inter to a first Serie A title since 2010 last Italian season, and Spurs are also facing a major overhaul of their squad.
The European giants PSG and Atletico Madrid are also watching Brozovic’s situation.
However, the player himself lives in Milan with his family and is not in despair after a San Siro exit.
The Nerazzurri also want the Croatian international to stay.
However, the two parties have yet to agree on a salary package sufficient to keep his services.
Brozovic wants around £ 5m a year but Inter are currently reluctant to go beyond £ 4.2m.
And with wages not an issue for Newcastle’s wealthy owners, Brozovic could be tempted by a big money exchange to the Premier League.
But for the toons to have hope of luring the Croatian with 70 caps, Eddie Howe must first drastically improve the club’s league position.
