Inter Milan has reached an agreement with Saudi club Al Nassr for the transfer of Marcelo Brozovic. The deal is worth around 23 million euros and is expected to be finalized on Monday. Brozovic, who had a contract with Inter until 2026, will sign a three-year contract with Al Nassr worth 20 million euros per season. This is a significant increase from his previous salary of 6 million euros with Inter.
The Croatian midfielder will now have the opportunity to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr. The Saudi club beat competition from Barcelona, who were interested in signing Brozovic as a replacement for Sergio Busquets, who recently moved to Inter Miami.
Brozovic had hinted at his departure from Inter through a social media post. Al Nassr came closest to meeting Inter’s asking price of 25 million euros and offered the player a salary three times higher than what Barcelona could offer.
With Brozovic’s departure, Inter can now proceed with their plans to sign midfielder Frattesi from Sassuolo. The 1999-born player is also being pursued by Juventus, Milan, and Roma, but he has already chosen Inter as his next club.
On Instagram, Brozovic posted a story calling out his friend Nicolo Barella, with the caption “Bare where are you?”. This could be seen as a confirmation of the transfer, as Brozovic will have to say goodbye to his teammate and close friend.
The transfer of Marcelo Brozovic from Inter to Al Nassr highlights the growing influence of Saudi clubs in the global football market. With significant financial resources, these clubs are able to attract top players from around the world.
