JAKARTA - Al Nassr continues to strengthen his team by bringing in famous players from Europe. After Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi Arabian League club officially signed Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan.

The club announced Brozovic recruitment through their official website. "Starting Croatia and Inter Milan national teams, Marcelo Brozovic has officially joined Al Alami," the club said in a statement.

Brozovic is reportedly contracted for three years. The 30-year-old's move reportedly cost 18 million euros.

Reporting from Transfermarkt, since strengthening the Nerazzurri in January 2015, Brozovic has performed 330 times in all competitions scoring 31 goals and 43 assists.

During his career with the club with the identical Blue Black jersey, the player who was born on November 16, 1992 won five trophies, namely one Serie A (2020/2021), two Coppa Italia (2021/2022, 2022/2023), and two Supercoppa Italiana (2021/2022, 2022/2023).

In his last season with Inter, namely 2022/2023, Brozovic was a big part for his club to become a Champions League finalist who in the final match was defeated by Manchester City with a score of 0-1.

In addition, during that season, he also became a finalist with his country in the 2023 UEFA Nations League when he was defeated by Spain through a penalty shootout drama with a score of 4-5, as reported by Antara.

After Brozovic, Al Nassr is believed to have stopped signing European star players. There are already two names that are widely rumored to be close to the runner-up of the 2022/2023 Saudi Arabian League.

The first is Chelsea midfielder, Hakim Ziyech. The Morocco player was widely reported to want to leave Stamford Bridge and Al Nassr as the destination because of a lucrative offer.

The second name is David De Gea. The Spanish goalkeeper is already without a club because his contract with Manchester United has not been extended.

MU management reportedly is still asking De Gea to stay by handing over a new contract. However, the contents of the contract do not seem to match De Gea's expectations and having a reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr could be the main option.
