Mourinho Eyes Brozovic for Real Madrid's midfield
10 Jul
Summary
- Real Madrid contacted Marcelo Brozovic's agents.
- Fran García transferred permanently to Real Betis.
- Brozovic is a free agent after leaving Al-Nassr.
Real Madrid has initiated contact with Marcelo Brozovic's representatives regarding a potential transfer. The Croatian midfielder is currently a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr. This move is reportedly being driven by manager Jose Mourinho, who is a known admirer of the 33-year-old.
Brozovic recently concluded his tenure at Al-Nassr, where he contributed to their 2025/26 Saudi Pro League title win. He recorded six goal contributions across all competitions last season. Given his age, Real Madrid is understood to be considering a one-season contract offer.
In a separate development, Real Madrid has officially confirmed the permanent sale of left-back Fran García to fellow LaLiga side Real Betis. García, who rejoined the senior team in 2023, found limited opportunities last season due to competition and the arrival of new players.
García spent significant time at Real Madrid, joining their youth setup in 2013. He made 109 appearances for the senior team over three seasons, winning five titles including a European Cup and a La Liga title. The club expressed gratitude for his dedication and wished him well.
