Croatia midfielder Marcelo Brozovic has become the latest name to make the move to Saudi Arabia, by joining Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

The Saudi Pro League side fought off competition from Barcelona to sign Brozovic and moves from Inter Milan in a £15million deal.

He will link-up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr and is the latest European-based name to make the move to the middle east.

Karim Benzema, Ruben Neves along with former Chelsea trio Kalidou Koulibaly, N'Golo Kante and Edouard Mendy have all moved to Saudi so far this summer, with more names expected to follow suit.

It's not just big-name players either, on Monday Steven Gerrard was confirmed as manager of Al-Ettifaq and is already targeting the likes of Jordan Henderson and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to follow him to the club.

Brozovic has spent eight years in Milan with Inter, and started the Champions League final in June, which saw the club defeated by Manchester City.

He made 330 appearances and scored 31 goals during his time in Italy, winning Serie A once and lifting the Coppa Italia on two different occasions.

The 30-year-old has also been a key member of the Croatian team that were runners-up in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, finished third four years later in Qatar and were defeated finalists in last month's Nations League finale.

Barcelona were keen on bringing Brozovic to the Nou Camp, but were unwilling to match Al-Nassr's offer.

Announcing the signing on their Twitter page, Al-Nassr took a swipe at their rivals for Brozovic's signature by stating 'Everyone wanted him. He wanted ONLY us.'

While in the announcement video, the midfielder backs up his new club's claim by stating 'Don't worry, I'm here. I choose Al-Nassr.'
