I don't know whether he should bargain too hard. The offer from Al Nassr to Marcelo Brozović was really good and would have seen a 2x increase in his salary. As per reports, Brozovic is close to a deal with FC Barcelona. Al Nassr was willing to offer €20 million, but the Croatian superstar wanted a minimum of €30 million. A delegation from Saudi Pro League met with the player at his hometown (Zagreb), but the negotiations reportedly came to a roadblock over salary. Anyway, it looks like Brozovic is not that interested in moving to Saudi Arabia. I just hope that everything will turn out well for him at Barcelona.
This hesitation by Brozovic proves that the price that clubs from the Saudi Professional League have to pay to convince players to go there is quite high. Within Europe a player would immediately join another club when the salary is raised from €10 million to €20 million, but going abroad to Saudi Arabia is a tough decision. That shows that it is not a place that all players want to go for other reasons than money. It is all about the money and as soon as they are offered enough of it, it is ok for them to even spend some time of their life in Saudi Arabia. It is lifetime in exchange for money. And a 2x is even that much because all of these players are aware of what those clubs are willing to pay others as well.
