Marcelo Brozovic is one of the media that is on the agenda of FC Barcelona wish last summer to strengthen its team. Between June and July 2023, the 31 year old Croatian international He delayed the choice of his new club for several weeks and allowed himself to be loved by the Barça club until the financial offer he received from Al-Nassr of the Saudi Arabian League, combined with the difficulties of the Barça entity in financial fair play, led him to make a certain decision, at the moment he thought he was leaving Inter Milan after eight seasons in which he had been a benchmark. As in Serie A, the captain of the runners-up of the last Champions League, quickly became a highly valued player in his new destination, both for his sporting performance and his professional involvement.
With a contract until 2026 at Al-Nassr, Brozovic only needs a few months to become an idol of local fans. He is the fourth player in the squad in terms of participation on the field with 1,977 minutes played, behind only Mané, Cristiano Ronaldo and Octavio. Although his conditions are multifunctional, his numbers are more than respectable in the offensive section, with three goals and six assists in 23 games.
The 20 million euros per year that, according to the Italian press, only convinced Brozovic to move to Saudi Arabia is in any case less than the cost of other prestigious footballers in European football who also chose to try in the Saudi League . and now they seem to have repented. English midfielder Jordan Henderseon, who seems to have a salary at Al-Ettifaq double that of Brozovic, now prefers to give it up to return to the Leagues of the old continent. Also the French striker Karim Benzema, just a few months after leaving Real Madrid having received a financial proposal from Al-Ittihad of 100 million euros per year until 2026, is already according to many information looking for left for the Premier League, a hypothetical the return of the white club is ruled.
Brozovic is on the other end of these cases. One of the ways that Xavi Hernández likes to improve the performance of his Barça is to dazzle his new fans in the Saudi League, in addition to his level of sportsmanship due to the impression that he gives everything in every game.
With Brozovic as a reference for his midfield, Al-Nassr is currently second in the Saudi championship.
