Juventus continue to monitor Marcelo Brozović as they plan their January strategy. The Croatian midfielder, currently playing for Al Nassr, remains a concrete option for strengthening the team’s central areas.
According to Calciomercato, the club could approach the deal with some confidence because his contract with the Saudi side expires in June. This situation gives Juventus room to negotiate without excessive financial pressure.

However, doubts remain inside the Juventus management team, especially from chief executive Damien Comolli, who wants to understand every detail before approving the move.
Concerns about Brozović physical condition
Brozović is still an elite player, but Juventus want clarity about his physical readiness. Comolli does not doubt his mentality or technical level. The concern instead involves the intensity of the Saudi league.
Saudi football demands less physical effort than Serie A. Juventus fear this difference may affect Brozović’s ability to adapt quickly. The club want a midfielder who can deliver immediate consistency, because the current season requires stability in the middle of the pitch.
These doubts do not rule out a move. They simply delay a final decision. Juventus are studying physical reports and match data in detail. They want to confirm whether Brozović can still handle the rhythm and pressure of Italian football.
The next few weeks will be crucial. Juventus plan to settle the matter before the winter window becomes crowded with negotiations. The team needs fresh energy in midfield, especially considering the fluctuating performances under Spalletti.

Brozović offers experience, leadership, and the ability to control the tempo. His presence could help the team manage difficult matches and maintain balance during intense periods.
Yet the club must weigh every risk. Signing a player who may need time to regain his highest conditioning could complicate the squad’s short-term goals. Juventus want someone who can contribute from day one.
If medical evaluations provide the assurances Juventus want, the negotiation may accelerate. If not, the club will examine other targets.
What remains clear is that Brozović is more than a simple idea. He is a real possibility, viewed through cautious optimism and deep analysis.
