Al-Nassr targets Braga star Roger Fernandes after Jorge Jesus gives him the green light

Saudi giants ready to pay €40 million release clause for 19-year-old winger

Al-Nassr is preparing a major move for Braga’s rising star Roger Fernandes, after head coach Jorge Jesus reportedly approved the signing. The 19-year-old winger is one of the standout prospects in Portuguese football, and his arrival would further strengthen Al-Nassr’s ambition to dominate the Saudi Pro League.

Reinforcements continue after João Félix deal

Following the high-profile acquisition of João Félix, Al-Nassr is not slowing down in the summer transfer window. The club aims to build a super-team capable of winning both domestic and continental titles, with Jorge Jesus playing an active role in transfer decisions.

According to Portuguese outlet O Jogo, Roger Fernandes is the next name on the list, and talks are progressing quickly.

Release clause could be triggered

The Saudi club is reportedly ready to pay the full €40 million release clause to sign Fernandes from Braga. At just 19 years old, the Guinea-Bissau–born winger has already impressed with his pace, dribbling, and attacking versatility in the Portuguese league.

Jorge Jesus has been monitoring the player for months and sees him as a key part of his long-term strategy at Al-Nassr.

Competition and future moves

While the deal is not finalized yet, internal sources say it’s only a matter of time if the club proceeds with the clause activation. Al-Nassr is also tracking Luiz Henrique, another young forward, who could cost around €70 million, as reported by the Brazilian press.

If both signings are completed, it would represent a massive outlay and a clear signal of intent from Al-Nassr to reshape the squad with top-level talent.
