The future of Marcelo Brozovic in Saudi Arabia remains uncertain, and Juventus are keeping a close eye on developments. Calciomercato report that the Croatian midfielder, formerly of Inter Milan and currently at Al-Nassr, is under contract with the Saudi club until 30 June 2026. However, unless an agreement for an extension is reached, he could leave on a free transfer once that deal expires, opening the door for a potential move back to Europe.
Renewal Talks on Hold
Brozovic is now in his third season at Al-Nassr, having joined in the summer of 2023 after a successful spell in Serie A. Despite his strong performances in the Saudi Pro League, this campaign could prove to be his last.
Reports suggest that Al-Nassr have already presented a formal proposal to extend his contract, but the 32-year-old has yet to respond. The Croatian international appears in no rush to decide his future, preferring to take time before making a final call on whether to stay or seek a new challenge.
Juventus’s Interest
Could this situation involve Juventus? In many ways, yes. If Brozovic were to become a free agent at the end of the 2025/26 season, he would represent an attractive opportunity for the Bianconeri — particularly given their ongoing search for a technically gifted midfielder.
Luciano Spalletti has reportedly identified the need to add creativity and control in the centre of the pitch. Brozovic, with his experience and tactical intelligence, fits that profile perfectly. Juventus might even explore a January move, as Al-Nassr’s demands are expected to be modest with only six months left on his contract by that point.
A Reunion with Spalletti?
Brozovic himself is said to be open to returning to Serie A — and to a possible reunion with Spalletti. The pair worked closely together at Inter between 2017 and 2019, a period in which Brozovic reinvented himself as a deep-lying playmaker under the Italian coach’s guidance. The role transformed his career, and Spalletti repeatedly emphasised his importance to the team’s rhythm and structure.
Now, with Juventus pursuing a more possession-based, controlled style under Spalletti, the return of one of his most trusted midfield generals cannot be ruled out. For Brozovic, a move back to Italy could mark not just a homecoming, but another chapter in one of Serie A’s most intriguing player–coach partnerships.
