Al-Hilal have once again rekindled their interest in signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli this summer. Osimhen, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, has returned to his parent club, but is unlikely to stay in Italy for much longer. Galatasaray are pushing for a permanent transfer but will face stiff competition from the Saudi Pro League giants.
Cristiano Ronaldo opted not to attend the funeral of fellow national team player Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. His absence sparked headlines and speculation, and it has been reported that the Al-Nassr forward chose to grieve in private, reaching out personally to the bereaved family.
Al-Nassr are reportedly shifting their focus to Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli as they continue their hunt for a marquee left winger. After failing to persuade Liverpool to sell Luis Diaz, the Saudi Pro League side have identified the Brazilian international as a prime alternative to bolster their squad this summer.
Jhon Duran is set to leave Al-Nassr only six months after joining the Saudi Pro League club in a blockbuster £70 million move from Aston Villa. Despite scoring goals and linking up with Cristiano Ronaldo, the Colombian striker is now poised to join Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce on loan, as Al-Nassr undergo major summer changes following their trophyless season.
Al-Nassr have reached an agreement with veteran Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus as they are all set to appoint him as their next head coach. Jesus, who left Al-Hilal at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, will return to the Saudi Pro League this summer and unite with compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo. The 70-year-old will replace Italian manager Stefano Pioli.
