Juventus has initiated the first formal contacts with the representatives of Marcelo Brozovic, a 33-year-old midfielder, to secure his immediate free transfer, considering that the Croatian is a free agent.

As revealed by CalcioMercato, the bianconeri club aims to finalize the signing of the Croatian international—who became a free agent after his contract with Al-Nassr expired on June 30—to urgently address the wave of injuries affecting the team managed by Luciano Spalletti.

Luciano Spalletti's injuries that accelerate Brozovic's arrival

Juventus' sporting management decided to turn to the market for players without a club due to the accumulation of injured players at the beginning of the 2026-2027 season. Currently, the coaching staff cannot rely on Juan Cabal, Andrea Cambiaso, Pape Matar Sarr, Weston McKennie, Khephren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz, Jeff Ekhator, or Manuel Locatelli, leaving the midfield with minimal availability of players.

To address this situation, the Turin hierarchy prioritizes the signing of the Croatian midfielder for his immediate adaptability to Italian football. The player remained without a club after not renewing his contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where he played in recent seasons.

Marcelo Brozovic's Serie A experience and professional records

Juventus' main argument to pursue the 33-year-old midfielder lies in his extensive experience in Italian competition. During his previous spell in Serie A with Inter Milan, he played 330 official matches, scoring 31 goals and providing 43 assists.

Internationally, the midfielder has 99 caps and scored 7 goals with the Croatian national team. His free agent status allows the Piedmontese club to register him immediately outside the usual summer transfer window deadlines.

Bianconeri's negotiated contract terms

The Italian club's board is working on a short-term contract for the Croatian midfielder. The initial proposal includes a 1-season deal with the option to extend for an additional year based on a percentage of games played.

The player is evaluating the economic offer presented from Turin, which aligns with the current salary parameters for veteran players signed after the start of the season.

Juventus executives have scheduled a new meeting with Marcelo Brozovic's agents in the next 48 hours. If a definitive agreement is reached on the financial terms, the midfielder will undergo a medical examination at J|Medical before the end of the week to immediately join Luciano Spalletti's squad.
