Brozovic to Madrid links surface, Salah draws MLS interest

Mourinho wants Brozovic at Real Madrid

Marcelo Brozovic is a free agent and Jose Mourinho wants him at Real Madrid (1). The Croatian midfielder's Al-Nassr contract expired this summer, leaving him available with no transfer fee. Mourinho, who will take the Portugal job after leaving Fenerbahçe, is pushing Madrid to move (1). Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports the interest is real (1). Brozovic spent two seasons in Riyadh alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, winning the Saudi Pro League title under Jorge Jesus this year.

Salah to MLS instead of Saudi?

Mohamed Salah has a new suitor. Sporting Kansas City want the Liverpool forward, complicating the Saudi Pro League's long pursuit (2). Salah's Liverpool contract is up and Saudi clubs have been the assumed destination. An MLS move would shift that picture entirely. Nothing is decided yet.

Fan reactions

The Brozovic-to-Madrid rumor has split opinion. Some fans see it as proof of the league's pull, another name linked back to a European giant. Others think losing a title-winning midfielder on a free transfer stings, regardless of the destination. The Salah noise is quieter; most are waiting for something concrete before reacting.
