Interested in bringing in Inter Milan striker Mark
Anatolvich (name)
But the 35-year-old Austrian veteran's unwillingness to give up his high salary at Inter has led to a stalemate in the transfer.
With the addition of new signing Mehdi Taremi, Arnautovic's starting position in Inter's forward line dropped to fourth. Despite this, he himself is willing to remain at Inter and has rejected Genoa's offer. However, Inter would prefer to let him leave the team to free up salary space.
Red Star Belgrade has shown strong interest in the veteran with Serbian roots, and sources say that Arnautovic himself has the intention to retire at Red Star. For this reason, Inter is even considering the direct termination of the contract, allowing Arnautovic to leave the team as a free agent, so as to save a large amount of salary expenses.
However, Arnautovic's salary has become the biggest obstacle to the transfer. Currently, his annual salary at Inter is €3.7 million, and the Red Star cannot afford to offer a salary package to match that. Despite the fact that Arnautovic's contract will expire next summer, his unwillingness to give up this lucrative salary has led to the transfer negotiations being in trouble.
Last season, Arnautovic made 35 appearances for Inter, contributing seven goals and three assists. Despite entering the late stages of his career, he is still competitive, which is one of the reasons why Red Star are interested in him.
