Marcelo Brozović (Croatian pronunciation: [martsělo brǒːzoʋitɕ]; born 16 November 1992) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr.
After coming up through Hrvatski Dragovoljac's youth ranks, Brozović appeared in 22 games for his boyhood club in 2011, a season which saw the side relegated. Following the relegation, Brozović signed with Lokomotiva, where he spent one season, leading the club to a mid-table finish. In August 2012, Brozović moved to a new Zagreb club, this time to Dinamo Zagreb, where he spent three seasons as key contributor, before he was sent out on loan in January 2015 to Inter Milan. After spending 1+1⁄2 years on loan with the club, Inter Milan signed Brozović permanently for €5 million. Brozović spent seven seasons with Inter, making over 300 appearances with the club, and helping lead them to their first Serie A title in over a decade in 2021, as well as two European finals (Europa League in 2020 and Champions League in 2023). In the summer of 2023, Brozović moved to the Saudi Pro League, signing with Al-Nassr for a fee of €18 million.
Brozović made his international debut for Croatia in June 2014. He represented the nation at the 2014, 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups, as well as the 2016, 2020 and 2024 UEFA European Championships, reaching the 2018 FIFA World Cup and 2023 UEFA Nations League finals.
